Painted Rocks

Painted Rocks Aug 20, 2023, Site 007
We were unable to stay there because there were deep gullies between the campground road and the sites. It was not possible to back in or go car first with a trailer because of the deep gullies. In addition the camp driveway was lined with tree posts (telephone pole size) so that it was not possible to maneuver a 23 ft RV. We tried to cancel the reservation, but could not, as the web site would not respond to any input with the very poor cell coverage (AT&T). We tried the next day and still could not get anyone or any answers. The access road to the campground (Painted Rocks Rd) was in very poor condition needed to be graded. Overall it was a very poor experience and we could not get a refund.

Road to the campground felt like you were in a popcorn machine. Roads in the campground were unkept with some having drainage ruts that you could not pass over. Sites were marked with reserved signs that were a week out of date. Our site had a reserved sign with a different name on it for the date we reserved. We would never go back there.

Nice area however the campground is not maintained well. Thankfully I have an SUV but if you have a small car good luck getting into most of the spots as they have huge ruts. I have a small dent now. My campground was not cleaned from the last campers (egg shells and burnt wood in the fire pit and around). Also found burnt corn cobs around the site. I don’t know about the others but my campsite also had a huge fly and ant problem. I’ve never had it that bad anywhere. Thankfully I had spray. We go camping a lot and I love the woodland park area, but definitely won’t be returning here.

Great views and set ups with tables and fire pits. Site are narrow, and only 14-18 can handle larger units, don’t take large trailers or units through the upper loop. Was so peaceful, will definitely be coming back soon.
Some sites are a bit challenging due to the gutter washout from rain, so some have a bit of a large dip from road surface to the site pad.

Nice location, lots of potential. This camp could easily get 5 stars, but it appears to have lacked a lot of attention lately. There are several sites that are inaccessible due to huge ruts where the water has been running and either washed out a culvert or there just wasn't one ever installed. I couldn't have gotten my 2-wheel drive vehicle into site 4. There were other similar sites. So, be aware of that if you don't have a 4 wheel drive. Seemed a little sketchy at times. At one point, some guy not staying at the camp just drove his pickup through and dumped his trash in the dumpster and drove back out. It worked out and the hosts didn't seem to care where I ended up nor check anything. I'm pretty sure I could have just shown up and camped without a reservation or permit and there'd have been no questions asked. I probably won't stay there again, but it'd work in a pinch. I have Google Fi and had 2 bars and data was "ok".
