Lower Lake Campground offers "nice wooded site with privacy" and sites that aren't "on top of each other."
What you should know
Varying site conditions: Some campgrounds have limitations or challenges with site layouts. At Lower Lake Campground, one camper noted the "only downside was fire pit area was very un-level for camping chairs," while another described RV pads as "spaced put perfectly."
Limited services: Grocery and supply options can be sparse near some campgrounds. A visitor to Lower Lake mentioned, "Firewood was available in the area. But not much for stores so pack everything in before."
Road conditions: Thousand Trails Timothy Lake North presents navigation challenges. "You have to check in at a completely different campground then drive up here and try to find a site," warns one camper. Another notes there are "lots of sites here and the grounds range from being near neighbors to more spread out in the valley."
Weather considerations: The mountain climate affects camping conditions throughout the season. At Thousand Trails Scotrun, one visitor observed, "We came in at end of season, so pretty much everything seems closed. But, it's a beautiful campground."
Tips for camping with families
Playground facilities: Mountain Top RV Park offers "a nice lounge room with games, a pool table, a tv and puzzles/board games," and "a small playground that would be better suited for older children."
Swimming options: Several campgrounds offer pool facilities for children. At Stonybrook RV Resort, "Their pool looked very nice although we did not use it," mentions one camper.
Privacy levels: For families wanting space, certain sections of Lower Lake Campground offer more seclusion. "We stayed in lower lake beechwood site 323. Was decent site... it's a nice wooded site with privacy," reports one camper.
Noise considerations: Some campers note varying noise levels between campgrounds. At Lower Lake, "it was quiet and peaceful. You could only ever hear the wildlife," while at Soaring Eagle, a camper experienced "great community of campers" even on "busy holiday weekends where it was full but still peaceful."
Tips from RVers
Hookup quality: Water pressure varies significantly between campgrounds. At Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South, "sites are long but narrow," with another RVer describing having "to move to a new site to get away from the trees to get starlink connectivity."
Leveling needs: Some sites require significant leveling for larger rigs. Stonybrook RV Resort has sites that are "level and beautiful—spacious and beautifully landscaped," though one camper warns about "a challenging entry up a steep grade, narrow roadway, and sharp turn in."
Seasonal availability: While most RV parks close during winter, Tri-State RV Park remains open year-round. A visitor notes it's "perfect for the commuting RVers just looking for somewhere safe to sleep for the night," with another mentioning, "Located just off the highway so lots of vehicle noise 24/7. Sites are on a gravel lot."
Site selection strategy: Finding the right site often requires advanced planning. At Timothy Lake North, "No assigned sites available. This had us pulling our 33ft camper around the whole campground until we came across our site we settled for," reports one RVer.
