★★★★★ 5.0 Glenn Stimpson · Jul 2025

Nice little campground tucked away around the mountainside. There are 12 campsites. If you get one along the south it's next to the creek. Of the 12, 2 of them are fairly large group sites. There were 2 outhouses for everyone to use. There is potable water piped to most of the campsites to a spigot. There is a permanent camp table and benches and a nice fire pit to use. The camp host said there have already been two people who left fires going this year already (June) when they left the campsite. The trailhead for Paris Springs is on the Northwest side of the campground. It's about a 10-minute hike full of beautiful views.

This is a cozy 12-site campground, with sites right by Paris Creek. The creek is fed by Paris Springs, which is just a short walk from the campground. It is truly amazing to witness the water emerging from the ground and forming a gushing creek within a few short feet! There's an interesting beaver complex along the road into the campground, and a 2-mile-ish ATV trail that leads from the campground down into Bloomington Canyon. We hiked it, and enjoyed the exercise - watch for free range cattle, including a possible loose bull. It's still a long hike (maybe 5 - 6 miles) further up Bloomington Canyon road to the lake from the ATV trail junction with the road, however. Sites 5 - 9 are pull-through, but a bit tight. Our 28 foot Cougar made it in and out okay, but a longer trailer might

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Corbin Rich · Jul 2025

Really enjoyed camping there, loved the place and the springs. The campground host was a loose cannon to say the least. We appreciated him chasing the cows off, but he was very disrespectful and beyond confrontational, couldn’t be civilized when handling situations (most likely buzzed most of the time) Shouting profanity at people driving side by sides a little fast when there was kids around (Not that I’m okay with people driving too fast if there is kids around). But most of them were only going 5 over the limit, but he always exaggerated and said 30 mph. Followed some of them back to their camp, getting into shouting matches for the campground to hear right in front of youth groups. If everything that he claimed was true, there was still way better ways to handle those situations. But e

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Alana Wolf · Jul 2021

Beautiful grounds. Site #10 is ENORMOUS and serenaded by a lovely creek; I set up a chair and table and had morning coffee watching fish, birds, and chipmunks -- perfection. Fantastic dark skies. So why the three stars? Folks in the group camp section - just across the way from my site - played music and shouted games over their buzzy karaoke loudspeaker during virtually all non "quiet" hours. To be fair, they needed loudspeakers to be heard over the swarms of their shrieking children and dogs running wild about the grounds. I'm all for a good ruckus myself, but the misery on the face of my site neighbor told me that I wasn't alone in feeling things were pretty out of hand. Not the most peaceful way to spend a weekend. Camping here is probably divine when these folks *aren't* your neighbor
