Fantastic and peaceful!

We had a fantastic and peaceful weekend at Dairy springs campground. It’s hard to find one that doesn’t have constant road noise or obnoxious camping neighbors. This one was amazing. Excellent hiking opportunities and lots of restful quiet time when we wanted it. Norm and Judy were the camp hosts. They were amazing and carried wonderful conversations never acting as if they are in a hurry. We had zero cell phone coverage which was a pleasant surprise. Our family will absolutely be back as soon as possible.

Camping at Dairy Springs

Although it rained he whole time we were there, we still had a blast. Dairy springs isn't far from Mormon Lake which had decent fishing. The campgrounds isn't big and there isn't a whole lot of privacy. You're surrounded by tall trees and a few hiking trails. It's a fun place to take the family.
