Great time!

Very nice campground with lots of space and privacy. The hiking trails are awesome, especially the overlook!
@LorettaJAA93C0 · Camped on Aug 4, 2024 at Campsite #A
Rented shelter A for a family gathering. They bathrooms were not open and had to walk to swim area for the restroom. Was not informed of this at the time of the event. When renting theses shelters out a John blue should have been provided. To what I was told the water line busted a month ago and still was not fixed. What ashamed to have people walking that far to the restroom.

The view at the overlook is well worth the hike.

Very nice hiking, especially Trout Pond Trail to Lina Constable Overlook, and Chimney Rock Trail.

We were at Trout Pond from May 13 to May 22, 2024. There had been no weed eating or mowing. Weeds and grass were knee high which made walking and walking the dog terrible. The ticks were horrible with the weeds and grass being so high. About 4pm Wednesday, May 15, there was no water, no host to be found to report the issue and no way to get hold of ranger to report the water issue. Host returned to campground about 3 hours later, finally had water next day about 11am. Host did not go around informing campers of water being back on. We have been coming to this campground since 1979 and this is the worst condition it has been in. Of all our years of camping, this has been our favorite campground, hopefully this is just a one time issue.

Lots to do and explore. The kiosks need some attention and updating. but a nice park.
@MelodyR6875965 · Camped on Sep 9, 2023 at Campsite #12
It was beautiful. We had #12. It was a little small but no problem for our 20 trailer just had to park the truck off to the side. We had 30 amp service depending on where you look online its a little confusing as it shows as a 15 amp but it truly was 30 amp.

The bathroom at camp has has had cold water the last 2 tim s we have been there. First time in 30 years this has happened. They say its because of the amount of people using but not n past years there has been more people using and still had hot water.
@JulieC9513135 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #33
The campsite was great! The bathrooms were clean and the beach area is always wonderful. I would like to see some playground equipment put back in to replace what was removed.
@AnnwynMB895C19 · Camped on Jun 9, 2023 at Campsite #48
We love this place.
@SUSANU8324223 · Camped on Jun 8, 2023 at Campsite #13
We like all the campsites at trout pond. We've been there many times. It wasn't crowded this time and very quiet.
@JeffreyP307FAC · Camped on May 26, 2023 at Campsite #36
Beautiful campsite and surrounding area. Lots to see and do. The campground was quiet and the bathhouses are clean. We will definitely be back!
@HeatherKA25C82 · Camped on May 19, 2023 at Campsite #13
Sites are spaced out and well maintained. Showers could use an upgrade.
@ChristineR7395 · Camped on Oct 25, 2022 at Campsite #6
The bathrooms are always clean!
@TulipS3478070 · Camped on Oct 21, 2022 at Campsite #33
I almost don't want to say anything to give away the secret of this hidden gem of a campground. But this place deserves all the stars. Friendly people. Great amenity options. CLEAN amenities. Clean camp sites. No trash, raked gravel, pet friendly, quiet. With enough activity options for those who want to enjoy nature actively. And serene enough for those who want to enjoy nature just lazing at their camp site. We want to camp here all the time.
@RodicaU2171482 · Camped on Oct 21, 2022 at Campsite #42
Excellent place, lots of trails to choose from and the lake is wonderful.
@GregoryT414144 · Camped on Oct 14, 2022 at Campsite #12

@SandraM1586460 · Camped on Oct 13, 2022 at Campsite #8
Lovely park and fall hiking!
@SteveF6015775 · Camped on Oct 10, 2022 at Campsite #10
The Fall colors were just premiering.We warmed up with the hike around the pond and then hiked to the Summit -and beyond. That worked out well as we are not experienced hikers and the trail up to the Summit was a bit challenging for us so warm up was essential.But the views-awesome!! The park is clean and well maintained. Good bath house with timed showering-pretty neat. The hostess was very pleasant and helpful. We saw many different animal tracks in the sand at the pond including a small bear track to and from the pond. Exciting! We will book soon for next year! We have tent camped as well as taken our trailer. The lots are a terrific bargain.
@SherriW4666338 · Camped on Oct 8, 2022 at Campsite #1
We stayed here just as an overnight place, we found it absolutely beautiful! Our neighbors were very friendly and the campground was very peaceful at night.
@JosephL2308947 · Camped on Sep 25, 2022 at Campsite #41
Nice campgrounds. Friendly hosts and really nice facilities.
@JamesH5225020 · Camped on Sep 22, 2022 at Campsite #41
Leaving about the geology of the sinkholes was valuable in knowing more about the local area. Park Facilities were neat and clean. Rockcliff Lake is beautiful. All of the trails connecting to the park were great to explore. Seeing Big Schloss and Tibbets Knob was the highlight of the weekend.
@StacyS8421781 · Camped on Sep 9, 2022 at Campsite #39
My family and I come to Trout Pond at least once a year and we always have an amazing time. Quiet but lots of fun stuff to do.
@JayneM106 · Camped on Oct 14, 2021 at Campsite #22
I've hiked at Trout Pond but my first time staying at the campgrounds. Lovely place. Unique sites. Except for the noisy campers (after 10pm), it was wonderful.

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!!!
