Camping was a horrible experience. The whole campground felt like a group site. We never saw the campground host - would have been nice to know one was there. There is some type of kid’s group camp on the outskirts of the main campground. If you’re looking for a place where you can’t see your neighbors, peace and quiet, and perhaps a halfway clean bathroom and shower facility - do NOT camp here. It’s the Knight’s Inn of campgrounds.
Absolutely gorgeous experience. We scored a site away from everyone and it was beautiful - right on the lake! The sunset was awesome. When looking at the map of the campground to book your site - be advised that the “half loops” away from the water are basically up above the sites on the lake right across the road. Still pretty private with lots of vegetation, but noticed that one drawback if you want to be away from others - move out to the end of the road for more privacy.
Staff was super helpful and nice! Facilities were clean.
We will definitely be back so we can spend more than one night!
So cool!!! We took the time to chat with the incredibly sweet and helpful Ranger in the gift shop/museum and she directed us to the best routes to maximize our time we had. The 2.5 mike loop is not very difficult, and offers some really pretty views. We would go back again! Visited in late July and stayed at Florence Marina State Park.
Very pretty setting! Wide open, so no privacy from viewing your neighbors, but still a nice campground! Bathrooms are clean. The proximity to the canyon is really nice, too. We stayed in late July.
