What Guests Are Saying
Little Mattie Campground offers a beautiful and serene setting, with clean facilities and a dedicated camp host, Jeff, who is frequently praised for his helpfulness and friendliness. The campground is well-maintained, providing a peaceful experience with opportunities for fishing and wildlife viewing. However, some visitors noted the lack of water at the campground and issues with reservations, including a closed dump station, which detracted from their overall experience.

Some of the sites are too small for anything larger than a 27β RV. But some sites do have a good amount of privacy. Not a lot of traffic because itβs tucked in a valley. Overall a decent campground.

Could not believe how clean the facilities were, and how friendly all the camp host were. I recommend a few days stay to take in all the areas one can visit.
