Beautiful campground. I loved it. The hike to the waterfall was amazing. We stayed in site 22. I really liked this site. My only issue with it really was that the hiking path for the waterfall hike really goes directly through the middle of this site. No one was in site 21 so some people walked through that site but I can see it being a bit awkward for some people if its busy and all the sites are taken. This site also shares the bear storage with site 21. Not sure if they all share. Ill definitely be coming back though.

I got to the campground and was assigned a spot that did not exist for my 15' trailer which I had already paid for. There was no camp host to speak with. I went to two additional campgrounds and finally found a site. Had to pay again. When I contact Recreation.gov to file the request for refund I was ultimately denied a refund with some maybe's on why I was denied. I did learn the campground issues the refunds. I have previously camped at Ophir Creek for 3 yrs in spot 3. I will not be returning to this campground and do not recommend it.

@DeliaL68F7B83F · Camped on Jul 9, 2024 at Campsite #15

There was no wood for sale, nor was the host available. One of the water pumps was broken, had to walk quite a ways to get water. Otherwise it was nice.

@KortneyRD4EE80 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #14

Beautiful site, the home to the site was unexpected but worth it

@KristinC611611 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #5

Beautiful!! Only working water is at site 19, bathrooms were super well-kept. Trail to the waterfall goes right out the top of the hill and it was an easy hike, super pretty! Campgrounds were not packed at all Mon-Wed. Creek was FREEZING but the kids loved playing in it. Site 5 was ideal for with kiddos- grass area to run, only 1 site sort of close, bathroom right there. Beautiful view down the valley. Camp host was super helpful and nice!!

@DanV40F25552E1 · Camped on May 22, 2024 at Campsite #18

Great place to camp. Large sites, creek nearby.

@Erinc6378035 · Camped on Sep 15, 2023 at Campsite #16

Great campground. Spaces are not too close together. Bathrooms were clean. The hike to the waterfall was a lot of fun!

@TinaS5EFEA16F9 · Camped on Jul 12, 2023 at Campsite #3

I really like this campground and it's location. However it would be more appealing if the sites were mowed/weedeated. The grass is overgrown .

@ColinRF6B0AADF · Camped on Jul 6, 2023 at Campsite #18

We had a great experience at the Ophir Creek campground. We booked campsite 13, but the site was still occupied when we arrived. The young family on the site had two young kids, so we didn't want to ask them to leave when a few more open sites were still available. As it turned out, we found campsite eight open, and it was a much better spot, with the creek running right next to our firepit and providing the perfect ambiance for our camping trip. The campsites and bathrooms were clean - well-done camp hosts!

@joeyc4150984 · Camped on Jun 11, 2023 at Campsite #18

Great campground! We stayed at site 18. We really enjoyed all of the wildflowers and plant life. Clean bathrooms and attentive and friendly host. We will definitely be back.

@JeremyS8080381 · Camped on May 27, 2023 at Campsite #19

I was grateful to find my reservation maintained and my spot available, as this function had failed in a previous year due to a missing park host. The campground was free of trash and the restrooms well maintained. Had a great time!

@LeahAD18F35AC0 · Camped on Jul 12, 2022 at Campsite #10

Bring wood and water plus ear plugs to drowned out the chainsaw.This use to be much nicer than it was this time I'm not sure the camp host takes that great of care there was trash and stuff. The worst part was in driving around every camp site had a reservation thing stuck on it you would have to get out of your car and look to see if the site was really reserved or was the reservation for a different month day or was already past. So many who drove in just drove out instead of staying. The host spot was a mess 4 vehicles and the hood up on one so didnt really resemble a host. The water pumps were not working and for 24 dollars a night you should get something maybe water or a camp site that others dont need to walk through to get to there camp spot. I guess I will be going else where for now.

@PrestineMECBC0 · Camped on Jul 4, 2022 at Campsite #18

The park hosts were a little distant but park was clean and quiet. Loved camping there.

@DorothyA80630C · Camped on Jun 10, 2022 at Campsite #19

We have,enjoyed camping at Ophir Creek for over 40 years, This year's camp hostess was very friendly, informative and accommodating. Our favorite campsite is 19. We love being right next to the creek. We'll be going back next year!

@RosalieG42A5EC · Camped on Sep 17, 2021 at Campsite #16

Camp host was very nice and accommodating.

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!!!
