We were in site 23. It was the worst campsite I’ve ever experienced. Literally ON the highway with cars speeding by all night. We almost left since if one of the kids walked 10 feet from our tent they would have been killed. No joke, the worst site I’d ever stayed at. Loud, unsafe, not a campsite .

This was our second time to this campground and haven’t been disappointed. The hosts are nice and very helpful. The creek is great for the kiddos to splash around in. I highly recommend.

The campground hosts were amazing. Very helpful, very kind. The first night, my wife parked across the highway as she was only going to be there for a few hours. After dark, I drove her over to the car. The campground host (I forget his name...I wish I didn't)..drove his cart across the way to check in on my wife, for he knew that she had parked her car there. I was blown away that someone would do this....a lost art almost, watching out for the welfare of others. The campground looked great. We had a memorable time. Thank you

I love spending time at Wheeler Gorge, we've camped there many times in the last few years. This trip in particular, the camp hosts really made it a great trip. The weather was nice, no bugs yet, flowing water. The campground was full for the first two nights but it's easy to stay safely distanced.
