Had a great time canoeing, swimming and hiking the Encampment River trail.

It was nice to have clean bathrooms, potable water and functional dumpsters. Camp host was very nice.

Overall it was a very good experience at Hog Park. I do feel that the stump removal could have been done better in some of the campsites. I was in 44 and parking my rv could have been a little better is some of the stumps were removed or closer to the ground.

We will be back. Beautiful area and nice lake! It was busy on labor day but delightful. The 15 mile long dirt road wasnt bad in September. Maybe its worse in the spring? I was worried. Nice folks up there camping with us. No problems.

Beautiful lake setting, very remote, so many stars!

Clean bathrooms, great beach front

While the campground was in decent shape. The USFS employees and volunteer group drove much higher than the posted speed limit of the campground. Nice kids just need to drive slower.The FS road from from encampment to the snoopy rock was horrendous. Beyond terrible in spots. If the road is being used for commercial uses its high time to start including maintenance costs or providing funds through recreation or travel management to provide blading in the road. Horrible roads

Hog Park is my favorite campground, ple ty of space between sites, seldom crowded, really clean restrooms, and fantastic views!

@MichaelD829846 · Camped on Jun 23, 2023 at Campsite #47

Really enjoy the camping environment there. We have been going there over the 4th of July of 14 years.

@AMYS5542485 · Camped on Jul 23, 2022 at Campsite #4

The campground pictures do not do this place justice. The views are beautiful and the reservoir was clean and peaceful. Highly recommend Hog Park. Be warned there is no cell service but it was wonderful from our standpoint because we absolutely could not work on vacation

@DouglasC100514 · Camped on Jul 17, 2022 at Campsite #49

Bugs were horrible. Is it possible to spray for bugs? Campsites way too close together. Had to wait for over an hour to get into campsite as there was another group in our site after check in time, We reserved on line, Host was helpful in this situation.

@PeterS7845234 · Camped on Jul 15, 2022 at Campsite #10

Just a wonderful place - not overly crowded - felt clean, endless water fun, etc.

@JeffreyV433761 · Camped on Jul 3, 2022 at Campsite #47

The campground is basic and dusty. tall weeds and unkempt the road into it is 17 miles of horrible washboard

@StevenW5993867 · Camped on Jun 28, 2022 at Campsite #46

Beautiful campground and area. I had come to do some astrophotography because it is remote and dark. But my experience there ... not so good. First, when I got to the CG there was someone in my site that I had reserved. Ordinarily, I would have had the CG host take care of it. But he wasn't there. So, partially because I was impatient to make camp, I set up in another space, one that was open and first-come, first-served (there were at least a dozen such open sites, an important detail for later). I flagged down the head ranger for the area, and he said what I was doing was fine. Not long after, the campground host returned (he was sick, hence his absence). His space was right next to mine. I explained what happened and where I was, and he said it was fine. Later that night, one of the mega trailer fifth-wheels on the other side of the CG decided that his playlist was everyone's playlist — and we all had to listen to his loud classic rock for a couple hours. Finally it quieted down. Then, right before sunset, the CG host came by and told me I had to tear down my camp and set up tomorrow in my reserved site (empty by tomorrow)! He said, 'These sites are for other people coming in.' (Again, there were plenty of empty sites!) I just felt that I was being inconvenienced from the word go, made to move even though someone else had taken my reserved site. Grrrrrrrrrr. It just made me feel unwelcome and unappreciated, and so next morning I tore down my camp and drove home, even though I had paid for the reserved site for two nights. I have been camping all my life and have never had that happen before! So if you can get past rude, inconsiderate fellow campers and a CG host that doesn't value you being there, this is the place for you.

We love Hog Park. Glad to see a Site Host this year. He was very accommodating. They turned the water in while we were there and there was garbage service this year and hasn’t been the last few years.

@JessicaB869322 · Camped on Sep 4, 2021 at Campsite #19

Make sure to follow the recreation.gov direction and catch 550 rd 6 miles past Encampment. Don’t follow the gps, many cars won’t make it that way. Beautiful campground but there was no water, trash service or camp host Labor Day weekend. Someone took our reserved site and wouldn’t leave and there was no camp host to enforce anything.

@AlexandraG829 · Camped on Sep 3, 2021 at Campsite #48

It was a very cool location, but it was a little hard to get to, maps took us down the wrong way onto private gated roads and we had to ask for help. The water service was also down at the time, but overall we had lots of fun and it was a great site

You need 4WD to get here. It sounded great, and it probably would have been. Didn’t make it though. 4WD is a must.

Water was beautiful. Campground awful. First, our site had no picnic table but all others did. Many people had reserved spots where other campers were staying and the camp host was nowhere to be found all weekend. Not there at all. The water was shut off and locked. All trash receptacles locked. It would have been better if the host was there as many campers had questions about their spots and why the ones they paid for and reserved were occupied by others. We had to move sites and the overall experience was bad. We would not recommend this area or ever go back.

@LianeG560 · Camped on Jul 19, 2021 at Campsite #12

I have loved coming here since I was 6. I am now 52. Will the water be fixed soon? Not having drinking water was hard. Especially since we had no notice that the pumps were going to be lock. I did not bring up drinking water because it has always been there in the past. Please make sure to update the website that the drinking water is not available until it is fixed.

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!!!
