Great Camping

This was a great experience. Site 105 is more private because you only have neighbors on one side. It is the closest walk to the brewery. The bathroom and shower facilities are well kept and clean and we did not have to wait much. The staff is friendly and courteous. We may make this a yearly event.

My dad and I just got home from our trip. We had an amazing time. The spot was beautiful had huge fire pit. We were able to find some wood around the area. We forgot part of our stove but were able to cook on the grill attachment to the fire pit. We cooked dinner and two breakfasts over the fire and everything turned out well. My only complaint is that it was a little far to the bath house. We made do. The bath house was very nice. I had brought my own toilet paper and hand soap but I didn’t need it. It was well appointed. The shower was nice, too. (That you need to bring your own toiletries and towels for) All in all it was a great trip.

Best primitive campground sites!

This was such a awesome campground!! First time ever staying and everybody was so helpful and friendly. He had the camp host come and check on us to see how things were. We stayed at the group 105 site and could not have been happier with that pick. It was off all by itself with the other 4 group primitive sites. Sites were huge and you could arrange and set up however you liked. Really loved that having 2 vehicles and 3 tents we had so much room. Loved the bathhouse being close too. Just a quick little walk/or drive around the corner the showers and stalls were so clean as well. Fire ring was huge too and they have wood on site. We even checked out the restaurant and bar/brewery on site. Everything looked so cool loved the way everything was set up. We will 100% be coming back and do the group site again. Our original plans of going off into the national forest and dispersed camping got canceled so we hated we couldn't do that. But this site the way they are set up really makes you feel like you are still out there disperse camping but with the luxury of a campground being so close. Loved it so much!

Easy to find. We just pulled in and set-up. Great site that is shaded and very secluded. Easy walk over to Devils Backbone Brewery. It was our first time camping in almost 2 years and it was such a great experience that we were ready to go back the following weekend! We will be back for sure and I recommend this site for families/groups.

The campsite offers plenty of amenities. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked and having the brewery right there was great. My only complaint would be that the site was not nearly as isolated as I thought it would be based on the hip camp description and pictures. The campsites are right on top of one another and this is not ideal for most tent campers.
