Wonderful setting for more rustic camping. Loved the area, plenty of hiking and spots to fly fish. Deer roam the campgrounds and just a perfect place to get away. The bathroom facilities were very clean and plenty of access points for fresh water. The Camp host, Dennis was VERY helpful and engaging, making the experience all the more enjoyable!

Chapman is a wonderful campground with great sites affording privacy and shade or sun depending on site. The maintenance is above average and the restrooms are exceptionally clean.
There are many nearby hiking and biking trails available including the Chapman Lake trail that is within the campground.
The Chapman Reservoir is there for fishing, kayaking and/or paddleboarding. This is an especially nice amenity for those tent camping near the reservoir. But if you need to access the area from sites further away, the day parking is quite limited and necessitates a clumsy walk carrying your gear and traipsing through the tent sites. Prior to 2021, the day use area was wide open with many parking spaces close to the reservoir but since 2021 the area was converted to tent camping making day use unpleasant and impractical. This change has made the usage of the reservoir for day users and sites further away a definite turn-off.

What a pleasant surprise! In past years at this campground we were immediately required by the campground host to pay for any additional vehicles, even though all of our vehicles fit on our site. This was nothing but a "shakedown" for cash.
This year was different and the host never bothered us about money and was extremely nice and friendly!
