Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (4 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“Campsites were nice and clean. We had been warned to bring our own water due to a situation with the Happy Camp town water supply. We saw the Rangers after we had checked out, and they were friendly and informative.”

Andreas M 4 · Aug 2023 · Recreation.gov

“Bathrooms were very clean. Campground is very large and open. Also large (rafting, church) groups in summer so pretty noisy during the day. We had a large group and we’re able to accommodate everyone at the group site.”

Alyssa J 3 · Jul 2022 · Recreation.gov

“The car parking space was a bit more spacious than we anticipated (good job allowing yourselves to exceed expectations!). Bathrooms in good shape. Reservation cards are a joy to see when pulling up in the dark! Over all conditions were great. Thank you for being there!”
