Rose Canyon Campground is praised for its cleanliness, beautiful surroundings, and friendly staff, making it a highly recommended destination for camping. Campsites are well-maintained, with ample shade and access to hiking trails and fishing opportunities.

The drive up was fantastic, the camping spots were great with metal bear boxes to put your food in and clean. They offered to bring you wood for an extra $20 bucks The only issue was the first night, the jets from the base were so loud for hours and the motorcycles on the road were pretty loud. Hard to sleep with all the jets and race cars with the modified mufflers to be even louder. Second night was a bit better, jets only for an hour. I know they can't control the the noise pollution but that is the only reason I won't be returning

Our camping stay was from Aug 31 - Sept 6th. Our camp hosts Shane/Vicky, Pete/Leslie and Chris were the best. They all checked in on us to make sure we had what we needed & if we had any questions/concerns! They took the time to say “Hello”😀
We also appreciate the cleanliness of the restroom & keeping them supplied.
Thank you to our hosts & look forward to seeing them again soon!

Really well taken care of campsite. Great amenities. The only downside is that some sites are so close to each other but we found better ones we will reserve next time.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
