Dont be surprised if people show up at night without reservations.

This campsite is great! Plenty of space for friends and family. Has a big fire pit to enjoy at night time. Highly recommend.

Everything was great except for the bathroom. There was a yellow jacket nest and we pointed it out to the ranger who came but he told us they were flies and that they would go away once the sun went down. This was definitely not the case and it was kind of insulting that he told us they weren't yellow jackets when they clearly were. Aside from the yellow jackets it was a great camping trip and the site was beautiful.

We had a wonderful time, the only thing I wish we would have known was the terrain to get to the campsite. I would highly recommend a 4 wheel drive car with high clearance. We had one trailer with us and looking back it was incredibly difficult for them. Outside of that, the campsite is MASSIVE, there are plenty of tables and a very large fire pit. Would definitely stay again!

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!!!
