We just LOVE this clean campsite in one of the prettiest places on earth! We really enjoyed Trout Lake nearby. It’s nestled in what looks like the Swiss Alps.
The campsite was perfect!

Great host: friendly and helpful
Very old campground: broken toilet lids, handles, bathroom door locks, signs damaged and shower costs $8 for it to be luke warm at best
Great location: Site 15 was amazing!

Great campsite with electricity, flush toilets, and free showers. Camp hosts Joslyn & Sue kept the camp clean and were very knowledgeable (recommend you give them raises!) The camp was close to Lizard Head Wilderness with great trails and lots of sprouting edible mushrooms.

We really enjoyed our time at Matterhorn. It is a smaller campground with beautiful views, nice tree cover, and solid amenities. We appreciated the cleanliness of the bathrooms and also how well ventilated they were. On-site hosts were friendly, as well. We had site 27 which was on the perimeter and felt very private. The only pseudo-negative was occasional highway noise, but really only when large vehicles went by.

First come first serve is very hard to predict. We spent more time trying to find a camp site eacn night that it took away from the experience.

Showers are free with your reservation for an overnight camp spot. Gorgeous Aspen grove backs up to the back side of the campground.

We really loved the wooded setting but it's unfortunately close to the highway with the attendant traffic noise. We would definitely go again but make sure to reserve a site further in to help with that.

Views were amazing, the river was cold, and the camp host was very friendly! Would definitely recommend the hike to Trout Lake
