The vault toilets at Mount Rose Campground were absolutely the cleanest I have ever used. Kudos to the camp hosts.

It was a bit windy every day but I suspect that's normal. We were in site 8 and were impressed with the pad, the table for your cook stove, etc. It's a small but very nice little campground.

I love this campground! It’s quiet and close to trails. I’ll be making my reservations for this year soon. The camp host keeps the bathrooms very clean, which is appreciated.

Love this place!! Campsites are huge and spread out. It’s quiet at night...no parties. Close to some awesome trailheads. It gets cold at night even in the summer. Bathrooms are well maintained.
No showers is kind of a bummer. No bear sightings last year. Beautiful!!

Beautiful area and campground. Some of the campsites are a bit close, but we had great neighbors so it didn't matter. Views and hiking in the area are amazing. No need to drive anywhere if you don't want. Ton's of hiking right out of the park.

Horrible!!! Camp Hosts were the worst, asked for help with situation with other camper and they were TOTALLY uninterested. This is my backyard campground and camp there every 4th of July, we ended up leaving rather than get into a deepening confrontation.
