What Guests Are Saying
Indian Springs offers a beautiful campground with clean sites, friendly hosts, and a great pool, making it a favorite for families. While some guests noted the noise from the nearby freeway and trains, many found it manageable with earplugs and appreciated the site's spaciousness and privacy. Overall, it’s a lovely spot for camping and exploring nearby hikes, with some room for improvement in bathroom maintenance.

I made a reservation for the end of May and received an email confirming said reservation 2 days prior to my visit only to drive 2.5 hours to the campsite to find that it was closed and locked. I never received any notification that my reservation had been canceled and had to call rec.gov who informed me that the campsite was actually closed until June even though I had an actual reservation. I was refunded the amount for my reservation but in this economy I wish I would’ve known ahead of time so I didn’t waste gas driving 5 hours round trip for nothing.

Camp had a host and clean bathrooms. Woke up a few times due to nearby trains passing through.

This is a nice campground, seems like there was a good amount of space between sites. We went on 4th of July weekend so it was full. I assume it was just the holiday weekend there seem to be a lot of extra cars. A lot of reviews on the sound of the interstate it is tucked close to, I thought it was a positive, it drowned out all the other campsites. Typically you can hear everything and everyone in a campground, not so much hear because of the traffic noise.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
