We tried all summer to get into Edna Creek Campground. It was always reserved weeks out. We checked the last weekend open and the site was available so we reserved it. We spent the entire weekend. It was perfect. We have fond memories of that camping trip. We will definitely camp there again. Thank you.

Issue with people in our reserved spot upon arrival. Info board in campground doesnt show guests what checkin/check out times are!!!

Cute little campground! This spot specifically was very open and didn't have much privacy. Found a few trails nearby via Apple Maps to hike with my dog :)

Since we had been here before they have upgraded the campsites and the outhouses. Very nice campground now. Outhouses were nice and clean and it was a very quiet and peaceful trip.

Super clean campground with plenty of room for trailer and a tent or two.

We had a wonderful time at Edna Creek. It was nice to be away from all the hustle and bustle that you get with the more known campsites. The kids had a fun time playing in the creek and exploring the trails.

We were really disappointed when we arrived at this camp site. The foilage was over grown and there wasn't a creek, but a stream that you could barely even get to. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting, they were full, out of toilet paper and smelled so bad you couldn't even walk in them for more than a few seconds. The forest Rangers that came through twice were teenagers and rude. We ended up leaving and going and finding another spot that we could enjoy as a family. Don't waste your money, nor go off of the pictures.

#10 Small but flat campsite which makes it great for people that have a tough time with the incline or decline of hills and also great for campers.

@SamathaS6AF9AC · Camped on Jul 25, 2024 at Campsite #9

Love campsite #9, we reserved #8 & #9 & #10 for one of the nights. It is right near a creek. We went in the heat of summer and it was a great place to go sit and just cool off. Plus at night you could hear the water while you were sleeping. It was so peaceful. The campsite is very clean with distance between the campsite to the left #11. Great trails to hike to explore the beautiful scenery. The outhouse/bathroom was the only hiccup with this site. We were there for 4 days and no one came and maintained it. It was a very busy camping area. Toilet paper ran out very quickly and the smell was unbearable each day at a certain time of day. The morning was okay until around 9am, then the smell literally was making people gag until around noon, then the smell would be tolerable again.

#8 was a great site for our larger portion of our group. The 2 large picnic tables and 2 areas for our camping stoves was perfect for us to prepare meals for a big group. The site is clean. We even had space to play games as a family. We were able to fit all the tents we needed. This site parks 4 cars easily. We were very excited about having a trail connected to the site so we could go explore. The downside to having that trail directly connected to the site was that every day, twice a day there was a guided tour of people riding horses and donkeys feet from our picnic tables and right up against our cars. Leaving horse/donkey poop in our site near were we ate and played and near where we had to go to access our vehicles. We had brought our dogs with us and even though they were leashed up this absolutely created anxiety moments for them, us and the horses. We also often encountered mountain bikers coming off of the trail into our campsite so fast that 2 of them slid down the incline, wiping out into our picnic table and almost taking our my grandson. They appeared to be startled by out dogs on the leashes and lost control. There really isn't a lot of space for them or the horses to be maneuvering between the rocks and our vehicles and the rocks and the tents and picnic tables. There needs to be a safer way for all to have this much traffic going through campsite #8.

Great sites! No water or electric. No shade in the back part of loop. Quiet and respectful campers around us.

@EmilyW1064864 · Camped on Jun 11, 2024 at Campsite #8

We camped on site #8 with my family and my two sisters. It was super fun! There was a little creek close to our site and a hike close by that was along a bigger river where we could swim. The campsite was clean and the bathrooms were clean. Overall an amazing camping experience!

@PatH3282376 · Camped on May 19, 2024 at Campsite #2

Loved the updated sites and facility.But the boulder placement at site entrances make it difficult to back a trailer into and even to pull out of the Site when leaving.Especially difficult is site #2 at Edna Creek .

@AnthonyQ699379 · Camped on Jul 22, 2022 at Campsite #6

There was a large party that was incredibly rude during sleeping hours and had to be asked by multiple groups to be quiet and respectful. Camp site was clean and well maintained, but without an onsite camp host, these people felt untouchable.

@KellyH8256103 · Camped on Jun 17, 2022 at Campsite #3

Very clean campground

@PaulaM4355275 · Camped on May 28, 2022 at Campsite #1

Nice campground, clean spots. Not the best for big campers due to trees on road from entrance to exit not trimmed and can scratch or damage on top of camper.

@NicholasB48469 · Camped on May 25, 2022 at Campsite #8

It was a really great spot I love the creek running next to the camp spot on number 8 love to go back there again.

@BernardA393469 · Camped on Sep 24, 2021 at Campsite #2

Clean, spaces not to close, very nice

This is a beautiful area to camp. There were just a couple of negatives that prevented our stay from being awesome. Firstly, there didn't seem to be anyone present that we could ask questions to or that could quiet a party that came into the campground at 11:30 p.m., dogs barking and running around, doors banging, and people talking and laughing until 3:30 a.m. Secondly, we have stayed in this campground before and there were garbage dumpsters for us to take our garbage to. This year it was "bring it in carry it out" policy- yet we were charged the same fee... and along those lines, it feels as if the area is being badly neglected, as there is a lot of overgrowth in the creeks around and on the various hikes. This is sad to see, as it is so beautiful here. I hope things will improve over the next year.

It was very nice to find a very clean bathroom and enough toilet paper. We missed the trash container, but understand. We had a blast as usual. Thanks so much for all your work!

We arrived on Friday 09/04 for 3 nights over Labor Day weekend 2020. We are small family with young children. Friday night, there was a HUGE party at site #6 that included tenants of 4 other sites. Yes, 15-20 people getting drunk, yelling, and blasting dance music until midnight. Asking for the music to be turned down after 10:30pm resulted in threats, f-bombs and music being turned up louder. Because of our kids we decided to let it go, not wanting to start a fight. The following night, the party of all the same people were at Site #1, other tennants closer to that site were literally BEGGING for the party to end at 1:30am. Same loud music, same abnoxious behavior including drinking and driving (they all have side by sides). We saw a Park Ranger Sunday morning and let them know what was happening, she warned the tenants in #6 as far as I could tell. Sunday night, the rager was at site #8 and included all of the same people plus multiple vehicles visiting from off site, party was complete with a welcoming committee letting everyone who entered know where the party was. That final night, again, party went until 2am. The kicker here is that we found a container of POT in the main campsite road a few feet away from my 5 year old who could have easily picked it up. Site Tenants of #1, #3, #6, #8, and #9 were all friends and totally took over the campsite with 3 raging parties in a row complete with drugs and music absolutely blasting until the whee hours of the morining. They had zero regard for families trying to enjoy some peace and quiet. The park rangers had zero authority and the Sheriff's never made their rounds like I was advised that they would. This is NOT a family friendly site, as we overheard other tennants sound surprised that anyone other than their friends were staying there this time - these are clearly regulars of the campsite and know what they can get away with. I do not recommend this campsite for families or anyone w/ kids.

@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!!!
