Rolfe C. Hoyer Campground

Hosts: Tony & Lisa - Early Sept 2025 Excellent hosts and they gave us a lot of good choices of availability. Restrooms/showers were very clean. Hosts were very receptive and always willing to lend a helping hand. This campground is beautiful and not jammed close to others. Thank you Tony and Lisa! We hope to see you next year. Cheers

This is a beautiful, Forest Service campground. There are no electric or water hookups at individual sites, but there is a clean dump station and potable water available to fill your fresh water tank. There are nicely maintained and clean pit toilets scattered throughout the campground as well as water spigots with good drinking water. The shower facilities are five star, the nicest I have come across at any public or private campground. Each one is privately accessible from outdoors, spacious, with sink, toilet, bench, and ADA accessible. They were very well maintained and clean. The 2025 Greer fire came right to the edge of the campground, but hasn't affected the campground itself.

I was a little nervous about getting a first come first serve campsite coming all the way from Phoenix (you can reserve too, but I didn’t get one in time) but we found a PERFECT site in the Bear loop, even getting in at almost 7 PM on a Friday night! There weren’t a ton of tent campers—lots of RVs so there is generator noise. I wouldn’t call this a super quiet campsite, the spaces are fairly close to each other & it’s right off the road, but I like being able to socialize with neighbors so I didn’t mind that at all. Just something to bear in mind if you prefer really isolated camping. It’s great for glamping, though. Even with vault toilets (which usually gross me out) they were super clean, close to a lot of sites, and you can tell they came by multiple times a day to make sure they were

The camp sites were lovely, large sites and not too crowded. Unfortunately they ran out of water while we were there, and when we discovered it and asked were told it’s not uncommon. Also the showers were broken bc apparently a pump broke. The worst part is no one communicated this to the campers, so we were all left to fend for ourselves and figure it out, drive to town for water etc. finally, all the trails were closed due to recent fires. Understandable but again, why didn’t they let us know ahead of time?? We camp solely to go on long daily hikes and to drive 5 hours before learning they were closed is frustrating. When we asked the campers hosts they said they didn’t know. We only learned after driving 30 more minutes to the trailhead. A lot of these issues could be solved with clear

camping has a lot to do with your neighbor. The sites in FF are a bit close especially if your neighbor chooses to turn their very loud generator on every morning like clockwork at 7am. Campers come to the mountains to get away from people and noise, be a responsible camper. Leave your loud generator home , or at least wait for other campers to enjoy a quiet morning to drink coffee. come to the mountains for quiet and solitude. Leave the noise home, please This is by far a very clean campground, but when you have to leave early because of the noise, it doesnt matter. Dont pay to far in advance, there are no refunds. if you dont like generators this isn't the cg for you. They go all day especially when it is warm and they want to run ac. There are a few forest rds open for free campin
