Camped out here in a truck bed tent. (Kodiak) temp was in the mid 30's. Very peaceful and very dark. Millions of stars in the night sky. Vault toilets near by and only $14 per day
What I Love most about Taboose creek is that its quiet.Only the sound of the running creek,birds chirping & the occasional Raccoon,squirrel or lizard running through your campsite lol..Though this last visit was a bit windy with lots of clouds lurking above,it still was a very peaceful & relaxing experience.I am already looking forward to our next trip back.
Great location just off the 395, approximately 10 miles north of Independence. Majority of the sites are creek adjacent and flat. We set up a tent and two of our group slept in the back of the trucks, the breeze kept the mosquitoes off. There is no "site host" to monitor the campground and the people next to us had 4 cars and approximately 15 people at one site, so we moved to an open "walk-up" site. Campground has a little too much trash floating around, but it's not San Francisco yet, so it's doable. Built in firepits and ours had a grilling grate, my nephew caught 3 trout on a kastmaster, so you can catch your lunch/dinner. Restroom was clean!
I have been coming here since I was a kid, it’s still the same with a few added benefits. There is now a well for potable water on site! This was huge for cooking,cleaning and most of all washing the kids back at camp. I will continue the family tradition and return as often as possible.
We’ve been camping here for years. They have restrooms and more recently potable water. The camp sites are a nice size with a table and a fire pit and a grill on each site. Right next to the creek for all day fishing! Usually very clean. About a mile and half down the way there’s a small restaurant that you can buy ice from all day and a pond to fish from.
