This place is amazing. A bit out of the way, but worth it. Huge sites and incredible night sky views. No dump station on site is the only thing you must keep in mind. Had a grey fox wander onto our site while stargazing. So cool!

While the site was beautiful, we had an unfortunate experience with the hosts. Vera and Rich were unreasonable and unaccommodating. Upon arrival, hosts stated there were only 2 cars and 2 tents allowed at each site, despite this not being indicated on the website or confirmation. Our group was able to secure a second site and paid for the additional vehicles, which Vera tried to overcharge us for and had to be asked to check the math multiple times. As the limit on tents was not indicated until after arrival, our group was not able to plan accordingly. Our group explained this to the hosts and asked permission to put up a third tent on one of our sites. Rather than walking to our site to assess the situation, the hosts opted to call their manager stating they had “argumentative young people.” Their manager arrived shortly and confirmed we were able to have 3 tents as were within the designated space.

We've been coming to Lottis Creek for years. Very enjoyable. The camp host at Union was very nice and helpful. We use to get water at the entrance of the campground but for the last two years we couldn't access it because you have to have an adapter to get water. WHY would that be. Our Host wasn't given the adapter. And can you answer a question about why there is no water at One mile campground.

Our campsite was clean and well maintained. The toilets couldn’t have been cleaner!! Our hosts, Tamara and Robert Rains, were like old friends by the time we left. So welcoming and accommodating to our large group. A really nice camping experience.

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!!
