What Guests Are Saying

Upper Twilight Group Site offers a beautiful and remote camping experience, with spacious accommodations and clean facilities. While there are some concerns about yellow jackets and the lack of potable water, these can be managed with proper planning. However, the experience can be negatively impacted by noise from nearby campers, as reported by one reviewer.

Campsite is great. Remote and very beautiful. Only two complaints with the site itself. 1. Lot’s of yellow jackets, but that’s fairly typical. 2. No potable water, but if you plan accordingly that not a problem. And the Arcadia site 15 minutes back down the mountain has a well.

The reason for a one star rating is that on our second of four days a group showed up at the lower, adjacent site. It was unreserved and by the end of the day they had filled it with about 10 RVs and campers. They were EXTREMELY loud, and their dogs were extremely loud. When asked to quiet down around 10PM they became threatening and yelled profanities. As a a result, our entire group left early, the next day. No fault of the site, except for the lack of a monitor, but it seriously ruined our experience!

Had plenty of space, far enough from other campers to not be disturbed and lots of flat area for tenting

The spot was greta, they didnt service the bathroom, got there with women's restroom stinking, could smell it 50yrds away, No TP in either. Trash was part way full. 3 different forest service vehicles came and parked up top, one went and checked the facilities and still nothing was done.
