What Guests Are Saying

Springer Gulch offers a picturesque camping experience with excellent fishing spots, light hiking opportunities, and a serene atmosphere ideal for relaxation. Many campers appreciate the clean campsites, beautiful scenery, and the helpfulness of the camp host. However, recent changes to restroom facilities, including the removal of vault toilets and the reliance on limited portable options, have led to dissatisfaction among some visitors regarding cleanliness and accessibility.

Just what I was looking for......Peace and Quiet. Stayed at campsite 014, be aware if you are camping from an RV the parking site is shared with 013. Excellent stay within walking distance to excellent fishing. Since I was camping from a motorcycle (street bike) my only issue was a rough entry road that was 7 miles long, and took 20 minutes to navigate. Toilet is 75 yards from site and water is 100.

Great campground! My husband and I enjoyed our time here very much and we’re happy to be able to have a camp fire. It’s a short walking distance away from the river and a great place to bring your dog. Hope to come back soon!

Tent only_site 8 was a little tight with the 8 person tent, but the site was perfect for kids once we got set up. Nice little rock face to climb and mess around with. Small campground, was super quiet at night. Will return in the future, but will try and grab site #9.

Beautiful views. Campground is a short walk to the river where we could hang out and kids play in the water. These sites are crazy close to each other and there is no privacy. We also had people coming thru our site from dispersed camping on the back of the mountain. No onsite camp host so it felt like a free for all at times. Also not a good place if you have a trailer bigger than a pop up, many sites barely had room to park. Would have been great if the site were not on top of one another.

This is a breat campground for a weekend trip. The road is narrow and bumpy to beware if you are brining a small trailer or pop up. We have a 20 ft Airstream and were able to squeeze it into our spot. There is a lot to do in the area including hiking, swimming in the river, fly fishing, rock climbing and more.
