I loved my stay at Lottis Creek. The hosts in the Park Cone loop are the best I’ve ever encountered. They made everyone in the small loop feel right at home. The bathrooms were very clean and the ladies room was even nicely decorated! Pretty cool for a pit toilet. The sites are nicely spaced so each site feels relatively private. Some of the sites are right next to Lottis Creek. Since the campground is in a narrow canyon there was no cell service and Starlink couldn’t connect. But there was enough open sky to set out the solar panels to charge the power station. All in all, a very quiet and relaxing stay. I will definitely return.

Cathy the camp host is awesome. She does a great job and is very helpful. She does a tremendous job in keeping the bathrooms clean. She has even added a personal touch to the decor of a plain run of the mill bathroom. Our stay was very enjoyable.

First time camping there. I was busy at work prior to heading to the camp site and forgot to download the site info. I didn't remember which loop I was supposed to be at and there's no signal in that whole area. The host was SO SO nice. She let me stay at a FF spot and didn't charge me extra. I had my 2 year old with me so we had to go to bed super early (~ 8:30pm) but everyone around us was very respectful, super quiet at night. The bathrooms actually smelled nice! It's unbelievable. They had a cleaning sign-up sheet on the door to show when each day the bathrooms were cleaned. The campground itself has lots of trees so very well shaded. We did have to keep all food in the car because other people's coolers got attacked by bears not long ago. Overall very pleasant experience. We ended up staying two nights instead of one (my original plan). Highly recommended!

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.
