Very popular campground; not much available for those looking for FCFS. Campground close to the highway, but settles down at night. Nice pine tree canopy with clean vault toilets.

I love this campground! It is close to home and yet makes me feel like I'm getting a true wilderness experience. I have hiked the 102 trail for 30 years and never tire of its beauty.

I was camping alone and enjoyed the location of A 20, saw deer everyday in the peaceful area. The camp site was clean, well raked and the fire pits were awesome. I used the attached grill top for a few meals. The bathrooms were SO clean….no flys, no smell with LOTS of toilet paper so they would not run out. Now let me tell you about the hosts….I met beautiful Carol on day one. I was early and offered to pay extra but she said no, not needed. She asked if my place was clean? I said cleaner than my house! We laughed. The next day I met “Crazy Harry”, his words….. he said they call him that and the female host I had met the day before was called “Christmas Carol”. hahaha… both of them were kind, helpful and full of answers to all my questions.
See you both again in a few weeks and I am bringing YOU BOTH homemade cookies.

Nice comfortable campground, all pull-thru, electric only. Bathrooms are available, cleaned and non-smelly. Campground hosts were friendly and monitored the spots just enough.

Wonderful 3 nights at Potato Patch. The Mingus Mountain Summit across 89A is a must see. It is a dirt road to get there, but well worth it! Did a mile out and back on Woodchute Trail. Go early - it is southern exposure, so no shade from the mountain. Composting pit toilets were clean and without a stink. Hosts were great keeping the TP stocked. The RV sites are well spaced so you feel you have some privacy. Everything worked well for us for our first time using a non-electric site. We were able to top off our water tank by using a funnel and the water from the spigot, as we only have a 12 gallon tank. With solar panels charging the battery, and a solar power bank, there was no worry about charging phones and small items, and the camper battery stayed well charged. The weather was just beautiful on Memorial Day weekend.

Enjoyed our campsite A14. Lots of open space for kids to explore and play games. The bathrooms were very clean. Such a nice family friendly campground.
