This was my fourth time camping at McCully. It was beautiful as always. The bathrooms were clean. The firewood is neatly stacked in cartable sacks. It was a very serene visit.

Site 3 - McCully Heritage Project
Good and calm area! It was full of autumnal vibes in there. But the shower room wasn't as clean as I expected. Also, you can see a lot of vehicles passing near site 3. I recommend you bring your own firewood.

Nice spot. Clear directions. Bathrooms are pretty good but a decent hike from the sites. The pond site and levee site are fairly close together and the other site had 7 cars and a dozen people which was unexpected. They were nice folks but kinda loud until almost midnight which is way past quiet hours. I pointed this out to our hosts the next day and got no response. We still enjoyed our stay overall.

We really enjoyed our time at the McCully Heritage Project. We were the only ones camping in that area, so we had a lot of space and privacy. The campsites are huge and lots of options to where you can pitch a tent. The hiking was great, and the restrooms/showers were clean. We definitely will be back - we enjoyed following some of the trails through the woods but only scratched the surface of the hiking available.

We stayed at the levee spot. It was quite and peaceful. We loved hiking the northern trails kinda was bummed about the southern trails were closed but hoping to come back when southern trails are back open. Would recommend staying here.
