Campground was very nice and clean. Bathrooms were the cleanest I’ve ever seen. They didn’t even smell bad. Camp hosts were very friendly and helpful. Very wonderful experience.

Very well managed and maintained campground. One of the camp hosts was particularly helpful in resolving a reservation issue with our site. Plenty of opportunities for hiking and, on the nearby Taylor Park Reservoir, fishing and water sports.

Lottis Creek Campground has changed a lot since I first started using it 60 years ago. It is much improved but has one huge problem. Maintenance of the gravel roads is terrible. This summer there are huge potholes in the road, and there is no effort at dust control. Mag chloride applied in June with the accompanying grading would cure this problem. Until this is done, staying in this campground is a mediocre experience.
