Great quiet dark!

We did group camping at site 6 in the Sage Loop. Site was spacious with great stone picnic tables and plenty of room. Adjacent to horse site but wasn’t an issue. Bathrooms with toilets were close but showers were very far and pricey at $2.50 for 5 min. The campground is very dark which is great for star gazing but tricky for getting around at night.

Amazing trails

I spent a week working remotely and camping here in ADA spot #58.

This park has more and better trails than anywhere I’ve ever been!

The campground is basic—there’s an honor box if you don’t pay online. Even staying for a week I never interacted with a ranger or manager.

There are a couple campgrounds. Equestrian, group, primitive, and Deer Ridge which has two halves—one non reserved which was only 20% on the weekend. The reserved part is practically on the trails.

Bathhouses were gross and a raccoon lives in the dumpster.

The trails include everything — bluffs from above and below, a huge cave, and several falls.

Beautiful and unique

Loved this small quiet camp ground. It is basically hike-in, although the host is great enough to offer to haul your stuff with her 4WD atv cart. The common areas are a surprising bonus. Shower was lukewarm but portopotties are spotless. Dishwashing station and outdoor kitchen are icing on cake.

We stayed at the site “Wilson” which was incredible. If you don’t want / need electricity site #10 is tops.

Stunning Views in a Serene Setting

If you want to swim and you love cypress trees, this is your spot. It’s a small park with very clean bath houses. The spots along the water are all amazing but 4 & 5 are extra great because they have shade all day and decks. There is a beach/swimming hole but we also swam from out site #5. Maybe the best campsite I’ve ever had. Worth renting a pontoon for a day!

Close to the beach

Site is hit and miss. Beautiful pool closed due to covid.

Primitive camping looked great. Loops are dependent on site—shady spots on the exterior are great but the interior spots can be garbage. The spots along beach Blvd have a great view but it’s in a parking lot next to the water park.

The women’s bath houses were terrible—mildew, frogs, mosquitoes, always a running tap.
