Potato Patch Campground is beautiful. Electric at 12 sites in Loop B and all 12 sites are pull-through.

My husband and I had reservations at Potato Patch for two dayswe stayed 2 hours. The ultimate reason we left early was not the campgrounds fault, it was freezing and we were tenting but that was what broke the camels back. Our time there started out rough with a mildly rude interaction with a camp host when I asked if we could move camp sites due to the website not being clear about the site being for a small group. It was a horrible campsite. She ultimately allowed for us to move but we only had a few options. We chose one that wasnt great but it was the best option. It was too small and too close to our neighbor who was in a tent trailer. We wanted to get a fire going but only to find out they dont sell firewood so we tried scrounging for pinecones and wood but things were wet due to a recent rain. As we sat down to rest after setting up camp we could hear traffic noise that was annoying, especially camping . Pretty setting in the trees but in our opinion the sites are too close and I dont feel the website does a good job of explaining that is at the top of Mingus Mt. , hence the very cold temps , Which for tenters is vital information. We have decided that we are not interested in staying here in the future. A positive would be that the restrooms were clean and close to campsites. Oh, and I must say that when we first arrived we got mixed up and ended up in the loop with hookupsabsolutely awful looking sites! Extremely close together , and just looked like a parking lot. The non hookup sites were much better looking. My recommendation would be for them to combine some sites to make them larger.

Always a go-to spot for us, close to home and in a beautiful place with good hiking. Always clean and quiet except for traffic noise.
@RobinC5286361 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #A10
It is a beautiful campground, our site was very level and clean. The camp hosts were very nice and the restrooms were clean. My only complaint is that our table and fire ring were behind our trailer inside of the side by the door. Otherwise our stay was great and the campground is beautiful.

Beautiful mountain park at 7000ft. Feels remote yet civilization still accessible.

We love Potato Patch. Always have a fire at night, and our dog loves all the hikes.

Potato Patch is our favorite campground, period! We love the rustic setting, the hiking trails, the facilities and the fact that its only two hours from our home.

Amazing. Our favorite campground
@DOMINIKR564CCE · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #A28
Had a great experience with the circumstances we were dealt. We were pulling into the camp when my transmission in my truck decided to go, the camp host came and checked on us and helped tremendously. They allowed us to move to a different spot and were able to stay there all 3 nights and kept checking on us through out the weekend. Will definitely be going back
@TinaP2234928 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #A2

This is a nice campground. We stayed in B loop, with electricity. Quiet, 7200 ft. Alt, very comfortable.
@ThaliaW45051F6 · Camped on Jul 1, 2024 at Campsite #B4
We really enjoy camping at Potato Patch! The sites are a good size and well maintained. The bathrooms are always clean and tidy (and they don't smell!).

@RMichae80971F0 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #A19
Hosts were great. Site was great. All its missing is a dump. How about one across the road at the picnic area?
@BettyZ261D866F · Camped on Jun 22, 2024 at Campsite #B9
We had an electric site that stated it was 30 amp. It only produced 15 amps from the service box. FYI - It didnt have water spigots, as mentioned on Recreation.gov, between sites. There was one by the bathroom though. We had 4.0 strength on our cell service (Verizon)!The campground itself was okay. We were scheduled to stay here for 4 nights. The volunteer hosts, that were there during our day, were Rick & Krista (?). Weve stayed in more than 200 campgrounds and never experienced antagonistic hosts, until now! Needless to say, we left early and went to another campground.Rick said, Go ahead and give us a 1 * review. (What brought that up!! WOW! We werent even going to bother writing a review.) Okay Rick, heres your 1 * review!

@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!!!
