This is a wonderful spot if you really want to be in nature. Not many people around quite, secluded and very peaceful. Tent camping only with reservations. Lots of hiking near by and great places to explore.

Quite, private, primative

There is a lot I can say! All of it is good. The camp site are set to the side and are somewhat primitive. You’ll have to hike all your gear in a short distance. All the hiking trails are fantastic, and the rangers that staff the grounds are fantastic as well.

**Campsite: Stone Door review**

This campsite is great for novice primitive campers. The campsites are secluded, but very close to the parking lot. There is an outhouse and drinking water close to the campsites. Each site has a fire ring and plenty of space. 

There is a parking lot for overnight campers/hikers. There is also a lovely pavilion with grills for day hikers. This site is obviously close to stone door and Laurel Falls. You can also hike over to Ranger Falls on the Big Creek Gulf Trail. I did the Big Creek Rim trail. It was relatively flat, but had some beautiful overlooks. A great campsite with easy accessibility to great trails. Book ahead of time as campsites fill up quickly on weekends! 

**Product review: [Banner &amp; Oak lifestraw water bottle ](https://bannerandoak.com/collections/gear-we-love/products/lifestraw-water-bottle)**

As a ranger, I get to test products occasionally. I took the Banner &amp; Oak lifestraw water bottle hiking with me. It very easy to use. You follow the instructions for first use, and then you can fill the bottle with any water source. I think it works because I did not get sick! The most difficult part is storage. You have to follow the directions for proper storage of the bottle. You have to properly dry the filter before storage. I liked it more than drops I have used in the past. Pretty awesome that the purchase of this bottle gets a child clean water for a year!

Ranger Review: Banner & Oak lifestraw water bottle at Stone Door Campsite

Not a far hike in. Isolated camping spots, well marked, out-house nearby, along with water source. 

Great campground

Our family camped here about 2 years ago as our first camping trip together. It was perfect. We love how much space and privacy we had and will be a regular camping trip for us.

You have to hike your gear in so it’s not quite as convenient as car camping, but it was also a way for us to get somewhat of a backcountry experience with young children.

Great Primitive Camping

Went with my son for Boy Scouts and had an awesome time.  Will totally go back
