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 hosts are very nice and keep a very clean campground. I would give them 5 stars. The toilets are horrible. You can smell them from 30' away. I bet the campground is grossing $20k a month in the summer. Come on Forest Service -- replace one a year with those new designs that do not smell. I give the toilets 0 stars. Add more spaces for campers there are too many people being turned away. Dead trees have been cut down which is fine, however could you you remove them rather that just leave then laying around!!

Great location. Clean park. Not good for RVs which is great for tent/car camping.

AMAZING view! We scored the BEST campsite. Only reason why I gave it four stars out of five...the vault toilet. It was hard to breath in their. Other than that...this campground and campsite #10 is the BEST! We'll return again in the future.
