What Guests Are Saying
Diablo campground is praised for its quiet atmosphere, well-spaced campsites, and beautiful surroundings, making it a favorite for many campers. The facilities, including clean bathrooms and well-kept grounds, enhance the experience, with some sites offering lovely creek access. However, challenges include rocky access roads for low-clearance vehicles and occasional noise from neighboring campers, which could be improved with better supervision and enforcement of campground rules.

This is kind of a last resort cg. There are only few prime spots but that’s it. Usually no host so anything goes.
