Aguirre Spring Recreation Area and Campground
Reviewed Oct. 15, 2021

Stay away if you have mold allergy/sensitivity

Beautiful, picturesque campground with great hiking trails and wonderful, reasonably priced campsites except... after feeling sick and noticing what I (and the rangers thought) was campfire soot on the composite wood tables, I determined it was toxic black mold. It stuck to the back of my tablecloth; I had to toss that. I also left a week earlier than planned because I reacted so bad - got subsequent ear infection from my allergy. Of course I advised the rangers of the issue (April 2021) and I heard through the grapevine, that they attempted to treat the table tops with bleach but I was long gone. All the picnic tables are covered with a metal canopy for shade so can't dry out when wet. They might consider replacing those tables with metal ones. Narrow, winding road going in and out so only recommend very small RVs/TTs or tents. If in a tent during Spring/Fall, bring sturdy stakes and guy lines - it gets VERY windy up there! Sadly, I can't go back.
