Meh

I've stayed a a lot of primitive camp areas, it's how I prefer to camp, but this place... the sites are very close offering no privacy and the crowd was sketchy. I wouldn't go again.

It was bad enough that I had a reservation for 2 nights and I stayed somewhere else.

Beautiful and private

Beautiful big sites in the middle of the forest. Lots of privacy and space. Rustic amenities but a lovely stream you can swim in.

Easy Camping but Rustic

Overall nice campground, some sites definitely better than others (avoid site 26 - no shade and right next to the swamp so buggy). There is no check-in booth or staff on site really. Seems like rangers are nearby if necessary. No firewood available onsite, but there's a hardware store down the street but it closes at 5pm. Pit toilets are closed and porta-johns are setup which are very clean. Lots of dogs but people are pretty good about keeping them on leashes. There is a rod and gun club in the forrest and it can be heard throughout the day. Not obtrusive but skittish pups won't like it. Overall really nice access to the trails for Mt biking or hiking. Just nice to know ahead of time that it's a bit rustic.

we love camping at Mount Misery! The sites are private, it’s usually pretty quiet, and it’s one of the only campgrounds around that is pet-friendly. We always have a good time!!
