@CarrieS6009005 · Camped on Oct 13, 2024 at Campsite #73
Loved this place!! Absolutely beautiful and we loved the size of the sites, very large. Only complaint was the squirrelsthey were obnoxious!They would try to take food as I was cooking , or they would run all over our table and knock things off of it and they would try to get into a closed garbage bag as I was standing right next to it. They were extremely bold and I tried throwing twigs, pebbles, and water near them to scare them off but to no avail. They also would call for others to join them!

Cleanest vault toilets of any campground we have ever stayed at. The showers are also clean and well maintained, the campsites are spacious. We will return!

I love this campground! It's so nice that we even put up with the road construction which made it rather difficult to get in & out of the campground. The hosts at this campground are the best. They are always available to answer questions or to offer suggestions. They keep the grounds immaculate. The firepit was even completely free of ash when we arrived. The pit toilets were always clean and the shower rooms were spotless. I cannot say enough about the hosts!Site 22 had electric hookups and the parking pad was level. We had no trouble parking a 24' trailer, a large pickup and a small SUV in the drive.

We always love our camping trips at Canyon Point. This time, we had trouble finding our campsite. The reservation stated that it was site C in loop A. We had to ask a camp host to locate it, only to discover that site C is not in loop A, but in loop B. Once we located it, we enjoyed our stay.

Great staff, water from the pump tastes great! Park is clean and beautiful. One of our favorites.
@BarbeG5AAE0E81 · Camped on Sep 22, 2024 at Campsite #20
We stayed at site 20 and the evening the wind blew the toilet smell to our camp for about an hour. We liked that the campsites werent right on top of each other. Walking the sinkhole trail was a nice way to get some steps in and be in nature.

Highly recommend! The whole family had a great time. Very clean and well-kept campgrounds. Next time well want to bring our own firewood though, slim-pickins around the site.

We have camped at Canyon Point campground many times over the years and have been fortunate this year to have been able to make several trips up there! The location is amazing, the park is very well kept up and the staff is so friendly. We look forward to our next trip up again to enjoy the cool weather!

@JeffreyM593003 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #75
The campground is beautiful. Tons of trees and it's a great escape from the valley. I camped in a tent for one night. It was quiet and cool and didn't have any issues with spacing or noise or anything. I'll definitely go back.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
