What Guests Are Saying

White Star Campground is highly praised for its cleanliness, friendly camp hosts, and beautiful, well-maintained sites. Visitors enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, proximity to hiking trails, and stunning views, with many expressing a desire to return. While some noted noise from nearby roads and an increase in dog presence, these were minor concerns compared to the overall positive experience.

We were at site 46 with a tent and a teardrop camper. Plenty of space and lots of shade in the site and throughout the campground. Vault toilets were clean and stocked (women's at least). All the campers who where there at the same time observed quiet hours, which was nice. Great cell service with Google Fi. All in all, really nice facility for basic camping and will definitely visit again!

This was an amazing tent site! There was a path right across from us that lead us down to the water and to Angel's Fishing Point. Which is a great spot to post up with some chairs and enjoy the water. It also makes a great area for a launching spot for kayaks and SPB. You can drive or walk. We chose to drive. This site we were across from the restroom and a short distance from the water point. The water point is kinda hidden, but it's down the way. Be prepared that this restroom has no running water, so bring hand sanitizer. The restrooms were cleaned daily by the camp host and were super clean. There is also a trash point around the loop. Be warned at this time of the year that mosquitos are horrible. If there was no wind, they were out and relentless. Overall, it was an amazing location with breathtaking views. We enjoyed Twin Lakes and White Star. We will definitely be back!

Campground is well situated - only 5 min drive from the water. Campsites were fairly close to one another, depending on which area of the campground you were on. And bathrooms were relatively clean. Our specific site was not very flat and had no coverage from the sun though. Would consider camping here again if it was a more shaded site as the sun can be brutal in the summer.
