The facilities and campsites were very clean. The campsites have been recently refurbished with very nice tent pads, new bear boxes and tables, plus bbqs and a nice fire pit.

Stunningly beautiful area and still green in August thanks to this year's record precipitation. Excellent trout fishing right across the road from camp - we caught our bag limit every day. The campsite is clean and well-kept, although the sites are rather small and. close together. They even have level concrete pads for tents, something I'd never seen before. Camp hosts were helpful and friendly. The double sites look great for a larger group. Hope Valley is so pretty and is one of the best campsites I've ever been to!

Been going to Hope Valley for 20 years. Nice campsites and not close to neighbors like an RV park. We go with a lot of family and friends and it's always a good time. Hosts this season (Jim and Laurie) were great!!

As always the campground was clean and well maintained. The host, Jim, was a welcome and consistent presence. Hope Valley rules.

This critique is of mgmnt. & reservation system, not the actual campground.

New camp hosts are big improvement from the earlier this year hosts.

Great scenic location with nearby hiking and fishing. Friendly campground hosts from Mesa, AZ. Clean campsites, campfire pits, and toilets. Easy parking for travel trailers in about ten sites in lower loop of campground. RVs not advised for upper loop, as the parking pads are either too short, too sloped, or both.
Will come back again.
