The campground is in a beautiful setting. The host was very friendly and knowledgeable. The bathrooms were kept extremely clean.
We camped in a tent and a motorhome. The campground was very quiet, had electricity and potable water. We would definitely use it again.

We camped on e quiet, Park Cone loop and enjoyed the peaceful tranquility and forest around us. The sound of Lottis Creek could be heard above the occasional passing car in the adjacent highway. The drive along the Taylor Canyon to the campground is so beautiful. The nearby Taylor Park Reservoir is a fun addition with its boat rentals and overlook views. Our camp host, Rick, was very friendly and helpful and kept a clean camp. We hope to retien!
