Cleanest, best run and close to all attractions

Extremely clean, well run and has the most options for all kinds of camping. The grounds are spotless, as are the bathrooms and showers. There are several hosts, so help is always available. The campground is conveniently located near many of the attractions.

Hidden gem

This campground is a true hidden gem. Lovely, treed, clean and quiet. Tent and RV sites, including 50 amp sites! Book online and enjoy real solitude. We have just been able to do overnight stays, but would love to stay a few days to recharge.

Away from it all

We spent 5 days in August at the campground. We arrived after the kids had returned to school and had the entire upper loop to ourselves until the weekend.

We hiked 15 miles around the lake and spent one day in Hill City.

The campground is quiet and beautiful. The spaces vary greatly in size, so if you have a larger trailer or RV, be very certain your rig will fit in the space you reserve.

Overall, we will definitely camp here again.

Great location, poor communication

This is a HUGE campground, but the spaces are large and pretty spread out. The campground is clean and trash is kept away from sites. The location has great access to Sheridan Lake, Hill City, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, etc.

The biggest problem was communication when there was a major medical emergency. With ZERO cellphone coverage and no way to access a camp host after hours (they said they had a phone for emergencies), we would only camp here again with some sort of sat phone or Garmin InReach, which we plan to get. I know this issue is common in many National forest campgrounds, but we have usually been able to at least text. In our group of campers, we had Verizon, T Mobile and AT&T…non of us had any coverage.

Peaceful and comfortable

This RV campground is beautiful and peaceful. The river flows next to the grounds and the trees provide lovely shade. The campground is super clean and well maintained. The hosts, Bill and Julia, are friendly and welcoming. The other campers follow the rules and are friendly too. Lots of folks who come here every year. We will go back.

Excellent location for an overnight stay

Extremely well organized staff and very clean. Confirmed our reservation the day of our arrival. The location is perfect and there is fuel and food nearby. The spots are pretty level and all have full hook ups and cable. A tad on the pricey side at $55, but there are discounts for AAA, AARP, Good Sam, Veterans.

Great Fam Camp

This location is ideal for any type of recreation or entertainment. The park is clean and well maintained. The premium spaces provide shade and full hook ups.

Close to the lake

We chose Bowery to be close to the lake and we were not disappointed! We were a short walk to the shore and caught huge trout each time we fished. The spaces are quite tight with a lot of Aspen trees to navigate around to get into the sites. We have a 34' 5th wheel and it was snug fit. The host (Dick) was great. We talked about our military backgrounds and camping locations.

Filthy, noisy, cramped

This has to be one of the nastiest campgrounds I have ever seen. Located next to a major highway and a creek inhabited by homeless. The campground is primarily filled with full time residents and extremely tight spots. Anything of value left outside is very likely to be stolen.

Convenient but bleak

We needed an overnight stop and this place fit the bill. It was 108 degrees and thankfully we could run both A/C units and hunker in our RV. Honestly, despite the bleak surroundings and heat, we will go back, as the location is good.

Lovely grounds, but...

The grounds are really lovely, but the spaces are super close together. We could not sit outside unless we wanted to be 5 feet from the sewer hose on the trailer next to us. There are spaces with room and a view of the river, but the vast majority did not. You can hear Hwy 160 very clearly, so we ran the A/C fan to drown out the noise.

Due to COVID restrictions, the bathrooms and showers were closed, so I can't comment on them.

This RV park is the perfect location for us on our trips to and from CA from Colorado, but at over $55 a night, we may see what else we can find I. The general area.

Family friendly, well run and clean

Crazy busy on the weekends, but almost empty during the week. The sites are somewhat tight for 5th wheels and longer trailers, but can be fit it. The pads are pretty level, but all asphalt. The electric service is 50/30, so you can run A/C…which you absolutely need in Ramona during the summer through early fall. Nearby hiking and golf, as well as a short drive to Poway/Rancho Bernardo where any service, shopping, etc you may need is available.

Best location

The best location if San Diego is where you are vacationing. Close to freeways and attractions. You need to have military affiliation to book there, and there are a lots of full timers, so space is somewhat limited. COVID 19 has severely limited access at this time. We visit the campground annually and had to find alternate accommodations this year. The campground is clean, but quite crowded. Everyone is respectful and adheres to the rules. A great place to stay if you can get a site.

Great access to hiking and the park/lake

We booked ahead of time for a pull thru spot. In the lower loop, not amazing views, but relatively flat sites. Not a huge amount of privacy, but easy hook ups and walk to the lake. Lots of full timers, but everyone seems to keep to themselves. We came to the area because all the National Forest campgrounds were closed due to Covid restrictions. We will likely stay here again.

Beautiful, spacious with access to the Colorado trail

Really nice campground. We had a site in the D loop. Lots of space between sites and no one behind us. No water or electric in this loop, but we dry camp all the time and bring our own water. We will go back. Ten miles on the Colorado trail was just a taste.

One of the BEST state campgrounds!

We were a group of 3 campers. The spacing of the sites is ample and most of the sites have covered picnic tables. Inside the park there are some nice hikes around the Reservoir. The fishing from the shore and a boat was better than most of the places we have camped. The campground is super clean and well patrolled. We will absolutely go back.

Great campground for exploring Grand Canyon

The military campground is great as a base for exploring the Grand Canyon as well as Sedona and the surrounding area.

Can't beat the location or price.

This isn't an RV resort, but it is a great overnight stop on the way up to Colorado Springs. For $10, you can stay the night with electric hook ups and another $10 to dump and flush tanks. Far better than a rest area. The Casino is a fun distraction. The lot is all gravel and NO grass for pets, so watch for cactus. We have stayed many times and it's a good place to relax before the drive to COS/DEN. Nothing fancy, but reliable and good fuel prices too!

Great hiking and fishing

Nestled in the Pando Aspen Clone, this campground has access to some really beautiful hikes. The Aspen are spectacular and protected by a fence (to keep the deer out), but you can stroll in the fenced area. On either side of the lake are hikes which take you up to about 10000 ASL. The lake is very deep and the fishing was great. We did endure one day with 40 mph wind all day, but we had three great days. We were there in early September and all the cottages were closed for the season. In the entire campground, there were 4 campers. It was quiet and pleasant. There was a chill in the air already, but it was a welcome relief after Lake Havasu!

Hidden Gem

Great campground all around. The Reservoir has some of the best fishing we have found. We caught our bag limit every time we fished. The campground is nicely treed and the spaces are more private than most. The vault toilets are the cleanest and nicest I have ever seen! Be advised that if you are in an RV, you must bring your own water. There are no water hook ups, only to fill containers. There is trash service, but no electric or dump station. There is a really nice trail around the lake.
