Customer Reviews
Loved this campground!! We stayed here July 1-4. Amazingly beautiful. The bathrooms are flushable and include a sink and mirror. Bathrooms do not have electricity, but there are skylights so it’s lit and bright during the day but at night you will need a headlamp or flashlight. It stays relatively clean, with the exception of bugs that get stuck in there. No showers. And no hot water. Water stays cold. There’s a total of 6 individual stalls, 3 on each side. We could not get access to the creek, which was disappointing. I think it was too overgrown. We heard the rush of the flow of water, which was a delightful sound, just sad we couldn’t see it. There’s a small access point if you walk up the path but then it’s a deep drop down. What I loved most was how the campsite is tucked away between the mountains in the valley, so the views were spectacular, but that also means it was very windy. The wind would blow stuff as we were trying to cook, and made the stove fire go out. We made it work. There are also a lot of bugs. I got bit a lot, but that’s nature for you. The sunset and sunrise made it worth it. Campsite is also a decent distant from your neighbors too.
Beautiful location. Dry camping only. Located 2 miles off 395. NOT AFFILIATED WITH MCGEE CREEK RV PARK AND CAMPGROUND. For full hookups, partial hooks, rv and tent dry camping, showers and trout ponds, please go to MCGEE CREEK RV PARK.
We've camped here every summer for the last 3-4 years. It's a nice place with a couple of drawbacks. To summarize: Pro's: nice mountain veiws, widely spaced campsites (not crowded, even in July), clean restrooms with flush toilets, nearby creek for wading or rinsing off after a hike. Cons: most campsites have limited shade and can get hot during the day, T-mobile cell service is marginal.
This was a nice campground. Clean, flush bathrooms, you could hear the river nearby. Didn't take any pictures, it was an overnight place to go hike Mt Baldwin early the next morning.
The place is beautiful, the manager is a very kind person and also provides excellent service, in short we will return very soon.
We had a wonderful time camping here!
