Dripping Springs Campground

My wife and I love this place. Not fancy but quiet and peaceful. Sites are far apart enough for nice personal space. No hook ups but we are fully self contained. Nice hiking. Nice views. Been coming here since I was a kid. Our go to for some serious chillaxin!!

Close drive for us, and there are like 20 miles of hiking. Campsite was pretty and well maintained.

Without knowing what to expect we went ahead and booked a campsite for 2 nights at campsite 26 Great little campsite, this site is exposed to almost full sun, so bring an easy up or extra tarp. Campfires were allowed, major plus! Plenty of wildlife and hiking very close. Other campers were very friendly. Will definitely be booking again

Had a reservation to stay June 1st, showed up and our site was taped off, full of downed tree limbs, and marked as closed. The site has been that way for a month and people are reserving it and then showing up to no site to camp at. Tons of downed tree limbs cut and piled up all over many sites and looks like it's been that way for a while now. The sites are already small, so add in tree limbs everywhere and there's even less space to camp. We had to scramble because the camp host was "not able to find any other open sites" (we paid for a reservation online). Camp host was unhelpful and couldn't be bothered. We showed up at 1pm to see a 'gone golfing' sign in the camp host's RV... had to sit around and wait and then we were told we didn't have a site to camp at.

Great campground with some really great camp hosts. Stayed Feb 12-15, 2021. There are lots of nice trails to hike, that are also dog friendly. Gets cold at night this time of year, but there is plenty of free downed wood to burn. Right now, every other camp site was closed due to the virus. You are most likely going to have to make a reservation through recreation.gov or you might not get a site, so be forewarned. I stayed in site 12, which was at the trailhead, and I loved it, great place to people watch and chit chat with hikers. If you are interested in joining in any hikes, you can find my hikes on the "Meet Up" app under the group "Five Miles or More Hiking Group" with the times and places I'll be going. Enjoy your hiking.
