The place was absolutely disgusting. I was so embarrassed to have my guests see the shelter like it was. There was trash everywhere including a full bag onto of the picnic tables when we arrived. The tables had melted marshmallows, night crawlers and dirt all over the benches so there was very limited seating. There was bugs everywhere do to food being left behind on the tables. The reservation paper hadn't even been changed in 2 days so we had to keep telling people we had it reserved while we were cleaning it. There was no trash bags to put in the cans so there was a huge mess inside the trash bins. Very disappointed

It’s beautiful at lake Vesuvius! My husband and I got married there in 2013. My daughter wanted her wedding there and she got it on September 15, 2022! I love the view from the furnace shelter!

Rode about 6 hours on a motorcycle and we camped out here, a group of 12 of us. It was a great time! Bathroom was clean, everything was well kept. We will definitely be back

Tree fell on my aunt's brand new car they didn't do anything but tell me it was a act of god. One of the kids or adults could have been under the tree when it fell.

The campsite was poorly maintained, there was no water available at any of the sites, and the campground was unmonitored and unsecured. we constantly had to defend the site from unwanted visitors all through the day and night. We felt very unsafe. We will never return to camp here again!

You need bring your own water or a container to carry it up. We was missing a table. At least grass was cut and it was clean. We had a very good time otherwise.

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!!!
