We really enjoy this site. There is great hiking right from the campsite as well as a river that you can play in most of the year.

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.

Camp host was great and explained all about the campsite early and checked in on us throughout our stay. Campsite was huge and had plenty of room for our group. Was a short drive to Red Rock Pools and felt safe leaving our gear at the campsite while we were out for the day. The spot was very dog friendly and did not encounter any large or dangerous wildlife. The only annoyance was the flies/bees by the food area, but that was expected while camping. I would definitely come back and reserve this exact spot again.

Some of us had spotty internet connection, but the camp host was wonderful. The spot is bigger than I thought it would be and the eating facilities are fantastic.

Came here in December and we were the ONLY campers, a party of 17. It was freaking awesome because the campsite is massive. Can fit 59 people and 10 cars. The water that we foraged was no more than 2 inches of water. We got real lucky with the weather. Plenty of picnic tables. Big fire pit. Please note there is no grill over the fire pit. It would be awesome to come here in the summer.
