Wheeler Gorge

The campground was great except for not being allowed to burn wood or coal, which made it impossible to cook food or have tome around the campfire. We still had fun together but the lack of fire lessened the experience for my young daughter and family. Be sure to check if wood or coal fires are allowed before booking.

Camp hosts are always super helpful and nice. Bathrooms are very convenient and close to every campsite, yet far away enough to not smell up the sites. The fallen trees and rocks make for a fun walk down the creek, and a beautiful view. Absolutely love the comfort of this camp, feels like being hugged by angels being here. Beware of critters though, bear encounters have been more common than not lately. Im thinking that this may be in part because it’s the season before their hibernation period and with the fire bans, mr. Smokey is a little tooo comfortable roaming through busy campsites. Always be prepared though, know what to do and what not to do, don’t leave food out EVER, u know the deal. All in all, Wheeler gorge has become my home away from home and I absolutely adore everything about the campground!! 10/10 recommend

Would receive 5 stars if running water was restored to the campground. Otherwise, I wonderful place!

Nice and clean

The campground is lovely, and practically every site is great(though some are much better than others). The host was very nice and informative, the campground wasn't even full when I went mid-week, and most sites are pretty private. There are lots of bathrooms throughout the campground. Some of the sites are right on the river, which is really nice.

Thank you

Great campground, with clean bathrooms, kind hosts, and wonderful background noise of the creek. Recommend choosing a site away from the road, as cars kept waking us up. Must see Rose Valley falls, which had a beautiful trickle of water even in late summer.

This place is a case study in have's and have not's. Some sites are located right on the creek, spacious as they are idyllic. Other sights are located off the creek in awkwardly compact arrangements. I was in the latter. The compactness of these sites would be more bearable if they were not located so closely together. I had two neighbors adjacent to me, one of whom I didn't have a barrier with to declare where our site ended and their's began. It's teeny, it's tiny, prepare for this possibility and you won't be as disappointed as I was.

Once the sardine effect wore off though, we got to enjoying the campsite area. The creak was fantastic, and there are a few areas of it that run around 3 feet deep. It can be very easy to spend the entire time in the creak and never leave the campsite. However, the site is a 30 min drive to beautiful trails and other hiking destinations that make it enjoyable.

There is no running water at this site, so bring plenty of water to wash your hands and drink. Town is a 30 min round trip away and provides ice and water jug refills (IT GETS HOT)
All in all, this was a fine site, especially on such short notice. If I were to ever return though, I would definitely research my site before doing so.

Beautiful space, the water is the best part. There was a bear on our campsite and we were made aware upon arrival but what they didn’t mention was the bear was frequenting the exact campsite we were on which they didn’t mention till Saturday. Was a bit scary lucking we had just put our food away. Overall great campsite.
