What Guests Are Saying
Hobo Campground offers a great experience with nice hosts and clean facilities. Site 3 is spacious, shaded, and has creek access, making it ideal for winter camping despite some bug issues. However, maintenance could be improved, particularly regarding the cleanliness of the toilets.

I booked spot 7 which found out has no space for tent. And sun kills u the whole day time. So i have to pay another 36 bucks to change a spot. Coz the app doesn't allow u to change spot once it reaches check in time. Ane the site guy only check ur conformation number. Coz he doesn't care. But he is a nice guy on all other hands

This was my first time camping solo and it was the perfect place to do so. Everything was monitored and the person running the campground was very involved. I felt safe and it was close to the miracle hot springs and other activities. I would 100% recommend it to anyone wanting to camp and get a tast of nature. There want any service but a 10 minute drive out and you were back on the grid.
