Upper Wolf Creek Group offers a beautiful and private camping experience with well-maintained bathrooms and ample space for tents. It's a great spot for families, with kids enjoying the large boulders to climb. Many visitors, including first-time campers, had a fantastic time and plan to return next year.

Great location. It was quiet as the lower Wolf Creek CG was closed. Thanks muchly for providing some campfire wood. There were a couple issues. One was the smelly bathroom wafting to the nearby camp sites, the other was the nearby dispersed site campers with bad attitudes (verbally abusive) coming into camp looking into camper windows and arguing with our campers. Other dispersed campers were using the pit toilets. We had no problem as long as they were nice about it. Note most sites are not very level and recent rain is washing out some areas.

Really appreciated the work done on the grounds prior to our arrival. It was so much easier to park the vehicles due to the recent grading.

Great Place. This was a church camping trip and some have never been camping before. The kids love the big Boulders to climb over. A great weekend and everyone enjoyed themselves. We will be back next year!

Beautiful site! Amazing hikes and Froggy Falls is always worth it. Bring your own TP and prepare for taking out garbage yourself if you exceed the bin limit--there was no service this year.
