ScoutSounds like a proper escape! I appreciate the clean facilities, gotta rinse off that'trail dust' after a day exploring. Just crossing my fingers that paid Wi-Fi isn't*too* steep if I get the urge for a little post-hike Watermelon Game... for research purposes, obviously.
ScoutWe stayed at site 76. Nice quiet park with easy access and reasonable facilities. Bathrooms are a bit rough, but functional. Site included 30a receptacle, 20a receptacle, water and sewer. Water is a bit far from pedestal, bring more than 25' of hose.
Verizon Wireless Cell connection is really good. 42ms Ping, 670mb/s Down, 22.3mb/s Up
ScoutMy wife and I camped here and road our dirt bikes out the next morning. You can drive right up to your campsite, this is on private property. There are several tent spots and also 3 cabins, small medium and large. There is a big hangout spot with a big fire place and chairs already set up, it also has 2 big overhead lights so you’re not completely in the dark. They also have a restroom available for anyone with showers! Everything was very neat inside and out! The owners of the place are absolutely great!! The Buckhorn trails run right through there property. I HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS CAMPSITE!!!
TravelerFishing , boating nice host .
GuideNo toilets/showers/dumpsters/ trash cans.
Various camp sites along a dirt road, that my AWD Equinox made it fine. Just go slow, as there are some ruts from previous rains.
There are various outfitters along the way to the dirt road. So you don’t have to go too far if you forgot something.
The camp I’m at has the land cleared fairly well of grasses and such.
The others further down the road are for one vehicle type camps with longer grass.
There are walking trails, with Spy Rock a short distance away.
TravelerAux Arc Park is a beautiful little campground with large sites on the water. Just here overnight, so no time to explore but will be back
GuideWe stayed in what appeared to be originally tent sties. On peninsula over looking lake and marina. No water, but electric here. Quiet, out of the way from others. Park has multiple swimming opportunities. We did not try bathhouse. Showers and dump station sparse for such a large campground
GuideThis US Forest Service campground has 9 sites, no reservations as far as I could tell. Beautiful little lake for fishing, kayaking or taking a drip. Asphalt camping pads suitable for up to < 30' trailers. No services other than pit toilets. Nice clean, shady camp spot. Was quiet during the week days. Four spots backup to the lake.
ScoutFriendly helpful staff. Decent lots. Many are shaded. Several things for kids including a pool.
