This was our first time at Potato Patch and we loved it. We could hear traffic from our campsite but it was easy to ignore. Rick was terrific. Very friendly and quick with ideas for things to do. We did the short hike and man, was that worth it. Gorgeous view. We'll definitely come back.

Potato Patch was a wonderful surprise. The campsites are well maintained and most, if not all, are quite big. Out volunteer hosts were very welcoming and informative. We'll be back for sure.
