Beautiful!

Fire pit, picnic table, showers, flush toilets and large campsites.

Really good balance of privacy and community.

Bikes and Boat Rentals nearby as well as a small general store and restaurant.

Short drive to Crater Lake National Park.

Note: I recommend getting a site near the water if you can. The Forest is very buddy but better by the water.

This campground has been awesome. The hosts are friendly and fun, the facilities are well maintained and there are perks like showers and laundry machines. My only complaint is that it is loud. There are quiet hours but the campground hosts aren’t very intent on holding campers to them. Given the fact that this site is so family friendly, noise is less of a concern for those who camp here. If you aren’t worried about noise, this is a great spot but if you prefer being remote when camping, I would look somewhere else first,

PROS: Beautiful!, Easy access to purchasable firewood, Bear Boxes at every site, well kept bathrooms with flush toilets and sinks, wind guards at some sites, near a lake, amazing starry night sky, general store nearby, Shell & Mobile Gas nearby, showers & laundry nearby

CONS/WARNINGS: Very cold & windy (it snowed in June and the wind knocked over our very secure tent), Campsites fairly close together, 2-6hours from Yosemite depending on time of year and where you are hiking so if this is the closest campsite you can get to Yosemite (which was our situation) prepare to spend at least 4 hours a day driving

Note: we encountered noise issues due to inconsiderate campers 2/4 nights we were there (some weren’t even nearby) so be prepared to complain if this bothers you because there are Quiet Hours from 10PM-6AM

We loved our stay at this campground. It was beautiful, quite and the camp host was incredibly kind. My only complaint is that we were very far from any good hikes. My partner and I ended up driving 3hours to Sequoia NP so we could get a good one in. However, if you want a nice, lazy weekend in the forest, this is the spot for you!

We were thrilled that we managed to get a spot here. You’re surrounded by the park and are in walking distance of the visitors center, watchman campground, a bunch of hikes, the shuttle and Springdale. Highly recommend it if you can get a spot.

This quickly became one of our favorite campgrounds. It’s right next to the canyon so you can walk for about 2 min to get to a beautiful view. There is a utility sink which always makes life easier and really great bathrooms. There are also coin-operated showers and laundry at the general store which is wonderful if you’re getting a bit stinky.

We came the first weekend in April and it snowed. Being that you are at the top of the mountain, it gets COLD so be prepared. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time. Sites were great (bear boxes at each site), friendly rangers and wonderful views. I recommend getting a site in advance because the reservable ones are on the outside and have a better view.

This campground is wonderful. We stayed a whole week (by switching campsites twice) and loved each site we went to. We were disappointed that the laundry and showers were closed due to COVID but it didn’t bother us too much. Highly recommend staying here but book EARLY because it is incredibly popular

This was our first time staying at a KOA and in general, we liked it. It’s about an hour from the Caverns which is doable, the staff is friendly and the amenities (shower, laundry, flush toilets) are very nice to have. It’s a great site for those who prefer glamping. However, it’s not very scenic and you are very close to your fellow campers (we listened to a couple fight the whole two nights we were there). There is a lake nearby and the dessert surrounding provides its own type of scenery but it was not my favorite campground.

We stayed in Big Creek for 3 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. The camp is beautiful and you are surrounded by the magical sounds of rushing water. There are two creeks nearby, one big and one small. We spent one day simply enjoying the campground. There are some trails nearby but most of the popular hikes you’ll need to drive to. Plan to be without WiFi and for your car to navigate difficult ground on your way in and out.
