Nice host and clean restroom.

@HelenM7389753 · Camped on Aug 25, 2023 at Campsite #13

A great place, clean toilets, just wish the ten sites had a designated graded level tent pad/area with timber borders like some other national forest sites have.

In the middle of a nice forest, good private lots. Two water sources, self registration for 20 USD. Good budget option for solo travelers

@StewartD405E84 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #9

We enjoyed the quiet small campground and did some hiking and fishing in the area.

If you want to be away from the clutter, hang at Bald Mountain CG for a few days. Quietude, herd of elk on Bald Mountain. You can't beat it.

Everything was good, met expectations. One comment: On some of the sites when first entering the grounds, the site number was not legible, needs fixing.

@DavidP3257927 · Camped on Jul 16, 2023 at Campsite #5

Clean Campground, good fresh drinking water and clean pit toilets.

@LucindaJ720C58 · Camped on Jul 9, 2023 at Campsite #10

2 years I have stayed at this high elevation campground for several days. Each year, including this, the vault has not received cleaning/toilet paper replenishing service.

@KENNETHG509223 · Camped on Jun 17, 2023 at Campsite #9

Campground was pleasant, only 15 sites. Toilets were clean and supplied. Handles on water pumps were not installed until a day after our arrival. There is a resident female moose who showed her presence several times. First time was a little scary because it was unexpected. She was just eating the shrubs along the road. Must see Porcupine Falls. With all the rain there are 2 falls. Beautiful! We hiked to the top of Bald Mountain. Could not find a trail so made our own path. Watch for elk on the mountain in the early mornings and evenings.

@DonnaM2595319 · Camped on Sep 4, 2022 at Campsite #12

Mixed emotions sharing! We saw elk, sheep, squirrels, cows! Quiet, beautiful, clean, Great place…. Dont tell too many!!!😉

@BrianS9986332 · Camped on Aug 31, 2022 at Campsite #5

Beautiful campsite next to a small creek. Had half a dozen mule deer visit numerous times. Could have used some firewood, but there was no camp host and we couldn’t find a Ranger at the ranger station, nor a stack of wood. Will definitely come back.

@LisaF6268557 · Camped on Aug 18, 2022 at Campsite #3

Beautiful scenery.

@DuaneC2050397 · Camped on Aug 8, 2022 at Campsite #6

Campground was nice, but the whole reservation thing is a joke. Got to the site I had reserved and someone else was already set up. There was no reservation for me put on the post. Went over to talk to the Campgrounds host and asked why he hadn't reserved my spot and he replied that there were a bunch of cancelations so he wasn't bothering with putting up the reservations anymore. He offered a different site, which was nice but not the one we wanted. Also there was nothing posted on the campground about which sites are reserved and which ones are first come first serve.

@WilliamH158481 · Camped on Aug 7, 2022 at Campsite #11

people that reserve camp sites should show up. most nights only 3 or 4 campers in sites

@AnnettaE427589 · Camped on Aug 1, 2022 at Campsite #3

Loved this quiet campground on the top of the world. Our host was friendly and we had a great, if short stay.

@WILLIAMM503355 · Camped on Jul 29, 2022 at Campsite #5

We love this campground for it's high elevation, abundant wildlife and quiet, quiet quiet and have stayed there annually for several years. This time, we were disappointed to see a sign on the trash saying they were paid for by the camp host and locked because people were using large bags. Further, there was a constant shortage of toilet paper. I attribute these changes to the camp ground host and hope for better in the future.

@marciaw6711073 · Camped on Jul 25, 2022 at Campsite #8

The Campground host was most helpful and accommodating. Thank you Mick you really made my stay enjoyable.

@DanP5109623 · Camped on Jul 12, 2022 at Campsite #2

Good experience again staying at this campground. The weather was good. More insects than normal, but that is camping. Plenty of elk , but few moose this year in campground.

@DerekL501 · Camped on Sep 4, 2021 at Campsite #2

A wonderful spot. Well treed for shade and lots of wildlife!

@ThomasD746 · Camped on Aug 29, 2021 at Campsite #8

Due to nearby Crater Ridge forest fire the access to the mountain roads, trails, and streams was forbidden by USFS. The air quality was very poor so decided at last minute not to use the campsite. Rating reflects USFS closure and smoke not campground or hosts. Have stayed at Bald Mountain 3 previous summers and enjoyed the area.

@RoderickR978 · Camped on Aug 26, 2021 at Campsite #8

Good location, close to the Medicine Wheel. Too many large RVs that tended to dominate the landscape. One RV showed up at 6am and spent the next 40 minutes trying to get situated in its spot with the backup beeps incessently going off. We thought it was a fire alert. How inconsiderate and annoying. No firewood available. There was a few pieces of extremely green wood at our site that was useless. The water pump near our site was out of order. The restroom was clean. Our previous experience a few years back was much better.

@DavidT478 · Camped on Aug 22, 2021 at Campsite #9

Very clean rest rooms. Friendly hosts!

@KarenF579 · Camped on Aug 11, 2021 at Campsite #9

This is a small cg with tall trees and a true sense of the mountain. Best for adults & those who want a quiet space.

@AmyA599 · Camped on Aug 10, 2021 at Campsite #9

The stars were amazing. Great campground right off the road. Close to Medicine Wheel.

@SharonP906 · Camped on Jul 20, 2021 at Campsite #8

We arrived to our reserved campsite to have a large family group on our picnic table and their pickup and camper blocking access. They said they reserved another site and could we just wait twenty minutes. We nicely asked them if we could just pull in and set up when we were informed that people were jumping campsites and they didn’t see a reservation on this site. I did have a screenshot with my reservation. The one lady was extremely rude to us which was uncalled for. It was the worst experience we have had camping. I am not sure if they just wanted this site because it worked best for their 7 vehicles, tents, and multiple trailers or if they genuinely had been bumped from their site.

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!!!
