We arrived around past 4pm and seen several campsites with "Reserved" status but no one is still occupying. We decided to drive all throughout and haven't seen any one camped yet. Our instinct says it's kinda creepy with our presumption maybe other campers opted out after finding out the condition of the campground being unkept, bucket full of algae and insect seems the water being stagnated for a long time. We did'nt see the camphost as well. Campsite full of leaves, seems like no one camped for a long while. Vault toilets are so smelly and haven't cleaned up. We ended up finding another campsite in Mount Laguna which has more safety vibe and camp host are consistently roving around and cleaning amenities. Waste of money and time..just a lesson learned to be more careful in choosing your campground. Trust your instinct as well if you feel safe or not once you set foot to any campground you planned to stay.

My family and I really enjoyed the time we spent at dripping springs camp ground. The camp host was very accommodating and friendly. We explored one of the hiking trails. The only suggestions I would recommend to anyone going, bring a easy up there was hardly any shade. I would book Dripping Spings again.

We camped at site #20. It was off the road which was great as cars come and go (many going way too fast). The tent site & picnic table have no shade for most of the day. There is a large tree that you can put your chairs under for shade. There is a slightly steep dip you must cross to get to the tent area. No grill on the fire ring. Other campers were blasting music super loud and way passed 10:00 pm which was horrible. Another camper was projecting a video on a screen at high volume. Other parks have a person come around to check on thin at night. This park is very hands off with that. For $15 a night you definitely get what you pay for! PS… #14 is the worst one there, zero shade.

Sites full of downed tree limbs, tree branches everywhere, site was pretty small because of all the tree limbs everywhere. Bathrooms looked okay.

Reserved the site #7 (double fee site, for 15 people) about a month ago,
Arrived at the site (~1.5 hr drive to get here) on the reserved date, site was Closed, and couldn't be used.
Talked to the camp host, he said he notified Recreation.gov long ago for site being closed.
Called Recreation.gov, they said they were not notified of any closure of this site.
Was offered to stay at an empty (only available) site which was slopy and small for my group, so had to turn half of my group away back home
Very disappointed how the system worked, and how they pingponged their fault and the lack of responsibility of either ends.

Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- 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.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
