What Guests Are Saying
Amphitheater Campground is highly praised for its stunning views, cleanliness, and friendly, helpful camp hosts who enhance the overall experience. While the campground features tight roads and small sites, making it less suitable for larger RVs, it is ideal for tents and smaller trailers. Some guests noted the need for bear boxes and improvements to the pit toilets, but many expressed their eagerness to return due to the beautiful setting and access to hiking trails.

The camp ground host was exceptional. He helped us get a space after our reservation space ended. After a very heavy rain he was on the road hand shoveling mud off the roadway. It was a pleasure to interact with him.

Love the park and location but site 16 had terrible sewage smell the entire time we were there. It is not even that close to the latrines.

Fix the smell from the bathroom. Campers have been complaining about this now for years and you do nothing. $38.00 per night should not include free poop smell.
