We had the best time tent camping in Nighthawk Forest! The area was well maintained, and the extra resources were a bonus (firewood, trash cans, etc.) . Feels quite secluded compared to other campgrounds. Absolutely would recommend!!

The campsite was beautiful. Unfortunately due to a family emergency we had to leave shortly after getting settled in. The tent site was wonderful its too bad we weren't able to stay to enjoy it more

Tent
The site is built very thoughtfully and looks great. The tent pad is very clean and flat, the provided picnic table is very nice and there is a lot of space to put up a dog lead. The water spigots are placed at a very reasonable distance from each camp so you don't have to go far for it. The pond is beautiful for pictures(especially in the morning/sunrise when the pink lily flowers open). We went in the middle of the week and it was quiet and peaceful. Absolutely looking forward to the next trip out here that we've already started planning.

Host was very kind, responsive, and helpful to ensure we had a great stay. All facilities were incredibly clean and sites were well maintained. There is a lovely trail that takes you to a small waterfall next to the camp site and it isn't far from a trailhead. Would not hesitate to book again.
