Me and my family really enjoy staying at this camp site twice already this year. We loved it, is clean, well taken care of and we liked the fact that has access to water. Is the smallest camp site i ever stayed at and that is one of the reasons why i love it.
Looking forward to reserve for next year. The host is great, very helpful and him and his wife take care of the camp site so well.

Present and responsive camp host. The restrooms were some of the cleanest and best smelling I have experienced. Beautiful location! Great views on the hiking trail (ask the camp host). Jerome is close by and a great day trip. You can definitely hear the cars on the 89, but earplugs at night allowed me to sleep with no problems.

The couple who next to us told us about the new trail that connects with Woodchute! It was a great trail. Bathrooms clean! We could have a campfire which was great! We have stayed here before when we had a pop up camper now 23 ft Gulfstream Vintage trailer. Love this camoground! The only thing is I signed in as myself ..my husband has the senior pass...couldn’t reach anyone at recreation.gov to get a credit.🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

We love Potato Patch Campground. It’s clean, the restrooms are kept clean, sites are spacious and it’s close enough to activities yet far enough to be restful.
