Sage Hill is a spacious campground ideal for large groups, offering clean facilities and a friendly camp host who provides excellent service. Many visitors enjoyed the hiking opportunities and proximity to the river, enhancing their outdoor experience. While some noted issues with restroom cleanliness and maintenance, the overall atmosphere and amenities make it a great choice for camping with friends and family.

We had the Cactus loop and loved it. We had to let everyone know to Google Aliso Trailhead to find the campsite. Looking for Sage hill didn’t take us all the way. We did have cell service throughout most of the campsite. We were at full capacity and had plenty of room around all of our tents. We had extra shade tents between the trees but had great shade coverage. We were sad to see the river had run dry but luckily had Red Rock minutes away with water to cool off in. It was hot during the day and cold at night. The area was very clean. Three water spigots around the site. The bathrooms were clean. Flush toilets with natural lighting. There were signs for crows so we locked up all food at night and had no issues. Our host was welcoming and answered all questions we had throughout our stay.

Loved Caballo for a group camping site with a bunch of preschoolers. Hiking trail right there, fire pits and plenty of space, fantastic staff that sells firewood and a muddy creek. What could be better? Well the horse corrals were great for them to play on too (and no horsepoop around)

Great camp hosts! Wonderful 3 mi trail with lots of wildflowers (end April). Keep an eye out for rattlesnakes, we're in their habitat.

Beautiful spot with super friendly host. We camped there for the weekend with our cub scout pack of 100 people. Lots of fun, lots of snakes but we survived and came out better for it :)
