ScoutThis campground is exceptionally nice and the staff is amazing, but if you are in a tent there is a lot of noise pollution from the interstate and trains that come by at all hours of the night blaring their horns.
ScoutVery popular spot for ATVs so it was pretty loud the entire time we were there, but overall not too bad - ended up finding a spot further down the road which I think helped
ScoutJust a dirt spot, not very level, fire ring next to the rocky drop off. Extra dusty, people have dumped trash in the area be careful.
GuideSuper clean. Nice spacious sites FHU sites at a reasonable rate.
GuideVery nice quiet stay in the woods. All camp sites are very easy to get to and nicely groomed. Very pleasant stay. Got below freezing so be ready for the cold.
TravelerLoved camping here! Campsites are spacious and all have a great view. Awesome spot to ride dirt bikes, side by sides, etc. I was the only one around camping when I was there. Super peaceful! The reservoir is 10 minutes away too which is great for fishing and paddle boarding.
TravelerSuper nice campsite, kind host, if you’re planning on fishing there just get ready for the river to be super crowded
GuideSites are close and there are a lot of them. Rocky ground and only shade is from the table cover. Beautiful lake and I saw lots of people catching fish.
GuideStayed in a hike in site. The hike is amazing and beautiful but sucks with gear if you use the trail near the water. Teamwork, determination and a cart are mandatory if you take this route. With no gear it’s the best hike I’ve been on. There is another trail that bypasses the difficult obstacles and is much easier and takes half the time. It starts at the pit toilets by site 901 and takes you to 920, 921 much quicker.
