From town: Go 10 mi S on I-5, then 3 mi E on US-12, then S on secondary road.
Stayed at group camp #1
Difficult to find it, because no one was ever at the front entrance booth so good luck finding someone to help. And when we read the printed map that's posted, campsite numbers are not even labeled on the map so you have to find the correct map online before coming. When you find group camp #1... the signage makes you question if that is actually "group camp #1" because it's only labeled as "group camp" and the reservation was printed on an index card and posted to a board at the entrance of group camp site so that's the only way we knew it was the correct site
I loved how far away the group camp was from other campsites because we were able to be loud and play laser tag past quiet hour
Great camp site for tents
Lots of picnic tables
Two water faucets
No sink, so we used the faucet as a sink, so remember to pack hand soap if you're staying at the group camp #1
Downside would be the bathroom by group camp #1 because it is essentially a porta-potty
We drove down to the nicer bathrooms whenever we had to go to the restroom
Bathroom by kitchen shelter #2
(near the wooden horse and swings)
-had parking for several cars to fit and large round about
-women's bathroom: had one sink and 3 flushing toilets
-stalls are small though so it was hard to maneuver getting in and out
Bathroom by the camp host site
-no official parking spots so we just parked near the firewood hut, across from where the bathroom trail was (note: you can buy firewood from the camp host)
-gravel trail to the bathroom
-much nicer bathroom than kitchen shelter #2
-women's bathroom: two sinks and 3 flushing toilets
-stalls that was easy to get in and out
-large shower at the back wall with free hot water
For a mom with littles, knowing what the bathroom situation looks like before camping is a must, so hope my review helps:)
Recently stayed at T5 full hook up site. 1 Porta Potty for 8 sites. Showers and a restroom is a 1/4 mile away. T1 to T4 sites are on Jackson Highway and can be rather loud.
Great place to camp. The staff is overly friendly. The place is quiet and peaceful. Will go there again.
Oh, I forgot. They also have some educational session that they do periodically for the guests to learn about the camp, nature, butts, and history. Awesomeness!!! A++
Went tent camping here. And it was a very nice shady old growth forest, so even if it's really hot out it feels very comfortable. Clean bathrooms and a cool place to stay for a weekend. I'd definitely recommend it!
Beautiful park, gorgeous old growth, friendly and helpful staff! Wish it was open year round, but you can still hike in the park even when it's closed for the winter
