"Great place to camp if you want something quiet away from everyone you can use campsite 10 which is on the river and away from everything."
ScoutThis is a good established campground for families with young children. There are lots of areas to bicycle and hike, the bathrooms were clean and the rangers were present. There was bear activity and a mom bear did appear around 10:30pm in our site but she left once she confirmed the bear vault was properly closed. I would highly recommend this campsite. The only two problems I would mention is that the sites are oddly close to one another and the fact that the showers are located far from the Eastern loop.
TravelerGreat spot with an amazing view. There are also many OHV trails close by.
ScoutSeemed ok until people showed up at 11pm drunk. Ran their generator right next to our tent. No camp host on site. . No sleep. Learned too late the place has a reputation. Too bad. It’s a beautiful spot.
TravelerWe stopped here because several other locations (that we found on this app) nearby were full or closed. It was nice and we had it to ourselves until about midnight when one other car showed up. We tried camping in our tent but it was too windy in the valley so we ended up moving into our car.
TravelerGorgeous area and plenty of space to go around. The hot springs parking lot signs that say that there is camping at the day use area where this is marked. BUT not far down the road there are so many sites. Plus a fresh water spring
TravelerI was driving by and seen the lake the I notice people were there… rocky entrance but well worth it! Meet some nice people. Slept with windows and doors open amazing sounds from the water. Any light bring bugs so use as little light as possible once it is dark.
GuideLots of camping spots in the area, all well spaced so you can live your hermit life. But it is right next to a popular byway, so it can be noisy. Overall no complaints, would stay again!
ScoutThe ground is very flat and many areas are paved with gravel. At 7500 feet above sea level, the view is wide and the scenery is beautiful, especially the sunset view.
ScoutNicely kept campground but no night enforcement for quiet hours.
Had several rowdy groups keeping us up til 2am. A few air horns, car alarms going off. No camp hosts or ground keepers around.
For the amount of amenities, I would’ve thought they’d have night employees
