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.

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.

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

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