What Guests Are Saying
Grasshopper Flat offers a beautiful, well-maintained campground with friendly hosts, particularly praised for their helpfulness and knowledge of the area. The clean facilities and peaceful atmosphere make it ideal for family camping, though visitors should be aware of bear activity and the lack of bear boxes. Some campsites are closely spaced, and parking rules can be strict, but overall, guests find the experience relaxing and enjoyable.

The camp host and the reginal Directors were quite friendly and updated us on the current status of bears in the area.
It was great to have bathrooms back open with runny waters.

Your app was horrible there! I don't know how you can fix it? But using it was just a horrible experience! I wasn't able to use my military discount, as it would never show on screen. Only golden age and some other one. Very disappointed!

Had site 27.in Grasshopper Flats. Nice site but horrible experience with camp host in both loops. Act more like RV park management then USFS public campground host. They will come around looking for problems and non stop harassment of parking fees with stereotyping by your rig “ RV” or vehicle, among other stuff. Won’t give you a min to even set up. People in rv’s ran there generators from 1:00 to 6pm with their air conditioners on while they sat inside. At one point 3 generators ran for hours. Not a pleasant experience or a relaxing time. 2nd year in a row! Good luck.

Best campsite ever. Patty is an amazing camp host! Very helpful and went out other her way to alert us of bears roaming the area on a regular basis, which one did one of our nights!!

Campsite hosts were lovely, it is absolutely insane to me that there is not a single bear box onsite. Bears roaming through campsites and tearing into people's belongings has been a constant issue since I first stayed nearly 5 years ago, and from what I understand this has been a *known problem.
What makes this especially frustrating is that this isn't not about camper inconvenience; it's especially harmful that the bears have become conditioned to associate campsites with easy meals. That increases human-wildlife conflicts, puts visitors at risk, and ultimately puts the bears at risk of relocation or being destroyed when they become too habituated to people. For a paid Recreation.gov campground in an area with a long-known bear problem, the lack of rudimentary basic food-storage infrastructure is difficult to understand and feels irresponsible.

I love this campsite. Been coming here for years. My only suggestion would be to request the camp host be less invasive. Coming when we arrive is understandable. But I find it to.be a nuisance when their presence is constant. Leave me alone and let me camp
