What Guests Are Saying
Cold Springs Campground offers a beautiful, remote experience with well-maintained facilities and access to excellent hiking trails, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors appreciated the peaceful ambiance near the river and clean bathrooms. However, the challenging drive along the narrow and winding Mineral King Road and some noise from other campers at night were noted as downsides.

Great campsite - keep in mind the overfill campsites (39-41 at least) have smaller bear lockers than the majority of the campground and do not fit most larger coolers!

Very remote. The drive is long. Don't go. (but if you do you will be in for a special treat)
Access to lakes and streams if you are willing to hike uphill and do 10+ miles a day.

Nice car camping sites with water and pit toilets in a compact configuration. Would be even better with showers, but can’t have everything! Rangers were super professional and helpful. Quite knowledgeable. Campsites are right next to a nice little trout stream, so location is lovely.

It was wonderful! Beautiful! I gave it 4 instead of 5 starts because the bathroom overflowed and they did not fix it. But, other than that it was amazing!
