What a peaceful campground, i met the host a couple weeks ago camping at another campground and she talked me into going to LP,
I'm glad she did. Bathrooms were clean and working. I can't wait to go back!!!

Plenty of space to set up your tent and shower tent. Restroom is cleaned everyday and the host drive 2-3 times throughout the day to check in & they sell wood.

Really nice site - we liked the adjacent loop better than the main loop but it is close to the street so there are noises from the road. There is a small trail behind the campground. The river access is across the street and then a 10 minute walk down hill. The cleanest bathrooms I've ever used in a federal park but bring soap to wash hands outside.

Pasamos un tiempo buenisimo en Los Prietos, un lugar muy limpio, los guardabosques super amables, y la vista de las estrellas, demasiado bonito.

Stayed at campsite 16 it has a wide area surrounded by trees that provided ample shade ( although was worried about the widow makers ). The fire ring and bench was across a dried river bed which is not terrible. Provides a bit more seclusion. Although would consider if you are lazy as your tent and bench are separated. I did find myself missing the convenience. The ground was mostly flat with a slight incline plan your tent placement accordingly. This campsite takes extremely well care of their bathrooms as all the ones I visited where very clean. I did find myself having service out there ( T-Mobile) enough to stream episodes of some series I’ve been watching. This campy site was great over all and would recommend it to those who want an escape. The only thing I would change is the campsite location I chose .
