The campground was great, but Roger the property ranger was not. I had my wedding reception there. According to my guests, Roger pulled up in his little red truck and make inappropriate remarks. On the day of my wedding there were an unexpected amount of cars, so he instructed my guest to park on the main road. Later, he asked me for $178 cash or check to have my guest park on lot number five. In the middle of picture taking, Roger was leaning against the tree asking me to get paid. Multiple witnesses saw when I paid him $178. I did not get a receipt. The area was beautiful, but unfortunately, the staff was rude and condescending.

We had a great time in this campsite! Site was clean and well maintained. It was nice to have the large ramada for our group to hang out and cook in. One thing to note - even though this is a site for 40 people, there are only 5 tent pads. A couple of them can handle two family tents, but a couple of them are pretty small.

Wonderful campsite & amazing weather. Campers at other site were a little load and went past the "quiet time". Spoke to the camp attendant and situation was resolved.

Ive been reserving spots at whitetail for over 20 years. The large fire pits, bbq grills and ramadas are always clean.the bathrooms are kept clean. I also love that the camp hosts (specifically Roger) lets you know the rules, then lets you be. No nosey hosts always checking in on the guest.

@Elizabeth96325 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #4

Good campground for large groups. Roger does a good job keeping the grounds orderly.

@ErikJ285432213 · Camped on Apr 19, 2024 at Campsite #3

The camp host is great, very informative and friendly. Bathroom was clean, and its a great way to introduce families to tent camping while having access to water and power. We always love staying here.

@TomB7022535 · Camped on Oct 20, 2023 at Campsite #4

Our campsite (#4) had 3 separate electrical outlets!! Great bathrooms and immaculately cleaned site!! Roger (host) came around daily to see if we needed anything. A wonderful experience overall!!

Great campground with lots of space. Very large area all to yourself, tidy & quiet.

@ColletteMFAF89 · Camped on Jul 13, 2023 at Campsite #5

We love having a reserved campsite with amenities just for our group.

@RichardK748784 · Camped on Oct 10, 2022 at Campsite #5

Bathrooms were clean, table area clean. All quiet at night. Campground well maintained. Great views 1/4 hike, beautiful streams throughout campground. Fishing within 5 miles, and coffeehouses with 3 miles.

Campsite is beautiful, you can select from a number of tent pads that have been formed into the hillside at the group camp. The only thing that confused us was that the gate was shut for entry to the campground, with no signage to clarify that we simply could open the gate and drive in. After waiting a bit at the entrance, thankfully a car drove up from inside the campground and explained that it was in fact open and we could enter.

@RyanG9772017 · Camped on Apr 15, 2022 at Campsite #3

Great site for kids, with lots to explore nearby. The men's restroom was closed at our site, which was inconvenient since we had to double up on one potty. The tent pad are very nice, flat and easy to stake into. Overall, a great site. We've already planned our group's next visit!

@DevinP7211352 · Camped on Apr 15, 2022 at Campsite #4

Beautiful campground, great facilities!

@JacquelineS631 · Camped on Oct 21, 2021 at Campsite #5

Please wash down the site. Flies happen in nature - but they were especially bad as there was spilled food all over the picnic area. Perhaps a hose and some water would help. Need some instructions on how to open those bear proof trash containers! Bears can't read but us humans can - and 8 of us never did get one open. Carried our trash out - which is more than I can say for others that used the space.

For the price paid I would expect the area to be cleaned up better. The bathrooms also smelled. The site is a great campground but I would limit the length of trailers to 22 ft. We had 3 trailers under 22 ft and parking was very tight. If you made the turn into the camp site a little wider it would work better. We were in site 3 at Whitetail on Mt Lemmon.

The site itself was quite acceptable, and the camp hosts amenable. It is unfortunate that is is so close to other sites, since some groups are significantly louder than others. Sound carries well in the forest, and I was privy to details of strangers' lives that I did not need or care to know. Also, children scream a lot; I guess that 's just what they do. Hard to enjoy the peace and sounds of nature sometimes. Other than that I have no comments.

It is a wonderful campground with so much space for groups. Our only suggestion is that space should be made for RVs. The campground is really designed for tent camping. The tent sights are wonderful. We squeezed three RVs into the parking area, but that's all that could fit. Very clean and well cared for.

@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!!!
