What Guests Are Saying
Hampshire Rocks offers a picturesque location by a mountain river with good camping spots and friendly staff, making it a delightful place for nature lovers. Many campers enjoyed the privacy of their sites and access to swimming holes, praising the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the overall experience. However, the constant freeway noise can be disruptive, leading some guests to recommend choosing sites closer to the water to mitigate the sound.

The campground is beautiful, the river is nice, however the noise from I-80 and the trains overcome everything.

After arrived at the camping spot we found ourselves with a bear box full of garbage, reported to the host and come to clean in about 10 minutes but he wasn’t looking that happy about it. Pretty place but unfortunately very close to non-stop trucks passing over the hwy 80. But that’s not all! The train also going through the upper hill was so noisy at night, passed at least 12 times. The only good thing was the fact of having cellular reception.

Traffic could be heard & seen straight ahead from the campsite. A lot of rodents & bugs lingering around. Typically it isn’t an issue but this time around it was sketchy since it was believed the rodents were carrying a plague. Our cam spot (11) did not have a bear box. Neighbors were loud & inconsiderate. Would not recommend this campsite if you’re looking for a nice getaway.

Several camp sites are closed apparently due to hazard trees. There is also a lot of litter in and around campsites. Our food locker had a package of raw pork chops left in it.

The sites themselves weren’t bad and the facilities were clean, but the noise from the highway was very loud. At certain points during our stay we had to yell to be able to hear one another.

Had a great peaceful time with my family. The water was perfect temperature this time of year for swimming. There were no loud neighbor campers. Campsite and bathrooms were clean. You can get fresh water from the spicket. All in all great camping experience.

Absolutely beautiful site. Sites on the side closest to the 80 can have a lot of noise from the road.

Beautiful area and found a small spot to enjoy the river. Clear and clean campground.
However, you're in very close proximity to the other camp sites and VERY close to the freeway. Not a restful evening at all unfortunately. Be warned. The 80 is LOUD. All night.
