The campground was fine but the nearby trail into the Wilderness Area was very disappointing. We were almost run off the trail by aggressive ATV drivers--even though the Wilderness is clearly marked for no ATV use.

The group site was perfect and in a great location! The group site has two potable water spigots (one near the toilets and one near the pavilion), it's own toilets (2) and a covered pavilion that had lights for the evenings. There were plenty of picnic tables as well and the creek was right near where we were camping. Lottis Creek Trailhead is an easy walk up the road, and the reservoir is only 10 minutes from camp. There are also plenty of trees for hammocks and shade. The hosts were very accommodating and cleaned/stocked the bathrooms daily. I would highly recommend this site and will be keeping this in mind for future camping trips!!

i had an amazing trip this year as always, our new camp host at the Lottis Creek area was very helpful and friendly.I would really appreciate an updated map of the Lottis Creek campgrounds on your web site, it would make picking camp sites for a group of family members so much easier. We've been hoping for one for several years now and don't understand why you can't have the same type of map and pictures of sites that you offer for other campgrounds, I have the same question for the Lakeview campground in the same area.

Lovely setting, Bob the camp host, was friendly and kept the campgrounds in excellent shape. There were electrical hookups and a water source for our trailer. Our grandchildren had a great time riding bikes, playing in the nearby creek, and getting ice cream at Taylor Reservoir.

Clean campground. Outhouses had light, air freshener, and small trash cans, which was a really nice touch. The camp host, Bob, was very kind and took very good care of the campground. My kids and all my nieces and nephews loved seeing him on his rounds multiple times every day!

Well laid out campground, sites are not on top of each other with good trees and vegetation between. Facilities are well cared for and the host was pleasant and available.
Lottis Creek is a good small Brook and Rainbow trout stream within easy walking distance. Lottis Creek Trailhead is close by and the trail follows the creek through the woods. Not a good trail for views and wildflowers, but nice nonetheless.
Reasonable access to the Taylor River and reservoir area.

The campground was in great shape and very quiet. The campground host Paul was extremely pleasant and helpful. Restrooms were very clean and so were the campsites. I would recommend this place to anyone.
