Customer Reviews
Probably my favorite Campground in years. Not a huge campground with only about 10 spots plus a handful of tent spots across a bridge. We had spot #2 and it was amazing: trees and shade everywhere, river running through nearby (not deep and crazy, so I would be comfortable if I had small kids there) so we heard the water 24 hours. The campsite was plenty large, so we could see our neighbors but not hear them. Bathrooms were very clean and smelled good, well water tasted amazing, great hiking trails at top and bottom of Campground, you name it. Oh, and the host Debby was great. She welcomed us and talked with us briefly, then left us alone and just gave a wave when we would see her around. Really nice lady. This whole place is awesome, can't wait to spend more time there. These mountains a
Great tent & RV campground! Limited RV spots! Awesome small creek running through the campground! Also hiking trails & 4 wheeler trails surrounding the campground! Highly recommend!
We stayed here for 10 nights in our 32 ft. Motorhome. We were at site #8 which is the best sight in the camp. The best spot on the beautiful creek. There were mule deer there every morning and a moose one day. There was an abundance of hummingbirds which were so fun to watch. There is plenty is hiking right there. There is a nice trail through wildflowers and lush evergreen forests to the Tie Hack Reservoir. It is about a 25 minute walk one way and mostly level. Our site was wheelchair friendly. There are two water sources but be ready to pump it! The restrooms were super clean. Sharon, the host, was great and always willing to be of help. We paid $8.50 a night with our Senior Pass. The one negative is that the is NO cell service. You can drive a few minutes toward town and get some signal
I stayed here for the first time when I was less than ten years old, so I have an affinity for this place. I've stayed here many times since then. Update: I camped 🏕 here again 8/24/2022. There was an Inconsiderate slob running a generator most of the night. I had put my tent up in my usual spot. These RVers did not like that. They said that the spot that I was in was for RVers only. I said that this is a public place and that I was NOT going to move my tent 😒 😐 😑! Bring the kids...
We took a camping loop of the western US, staying in half a dozen different campgrounds over the course of 2 weeks (Yellowstone, Tetons, Badlands of both ND and SD, etc.). South Fork was our favorite campsite of all - beautiful area, great sites, and a rushing stream to lull us all to sleep. Really nice little hiking trail behind the campsite too. Our biggest regret was not having more time to explore the area.
