Camp Hycliff

Overall this campground was great for church youth camp. The hosts were friendly and helpful. However, neither our group or 3 other groups were initially aware that we would be sharing the campground that week until weeks before we were to arrive, but we made it work. We used the site with the kitchen- (electricity, sinks, fridges, oven, etc.) and pavilion. The water slide was fun and was used often. The short, ten minute hike up to altar rock provided a nice view. The bathrooms are flush toilets and the showers are individual stalls with locking doors. We were there in mid July and it was very hot and there were soooo many bugs and spiders. Still a great place for camp!

GPS will only get you to where you can see the camp from across the river. You need to keep continuing down the road and cross the bridge and then backtrack and find the camp. There are no signs and it was difficult to find. Take a right after crossing the bridge and stay on the high road. The dirt road was not bad, I was able to make it in a sedan. Good luck!

Personally, I LOVE the idea of a campground that doesn't allow pets!! Can't say how many times I've been camping and somebody's dog kept everyone up barking all night. I also don't see the problem with cleaning up after yourself and keeping the site clean. Excited to go.

Went to inquire about a camping spot on a Saturday and there was no one there except for a man cleaning the restrooms. We tried to ask if we were able to camp here (we would have paid and been respectful and clean) and he wouldn’t even look us in the eye and gruffly said no. Very rude. Will not ever be back. Found a spot for free instead and it was way better. 0/10 would never recommend.

First note, I HAVE NOT STAYED HERE. However I reviewed the rules before I intended to visit. First, there are NO pets allowed, and we camp with our dog. We leash and pick up after him, but we still camp with him. So I never got to see the site since i already am out. However, reviewing the extensive list of do's and don't, you can easily see that people are not allowed to actually enjoy camping. Yes, a lot of the rules are common sense, like packing in your own stuff and clean up after yourself. But mandatory use of lysol on all the items you use, mandatory that you have nothing ever left on the tables (come on, even campers using an RV put things on tables during their visit!), mandatory that you landscape the area to clean up natures trash, and not being allowed to ever use the dumpster on site.....just to name a few. The expectations of the hosts here are for them to do absolutely nothing and get paid to camp instead of their jobs, like picking up the branches fallen from trees in the campsites. When you aren't even allowed to throw away your trash in the garbage bin there is something wrong....this is after all a pay to use site with a host, and provided services.
