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.

This campground is so unique! Close to town but secluded enough to feel remote. The trails that surround the campground are easily marked and varied for all types of hikes. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly. The cleanliness of the toilets, group spaces and sites were a testament to their dedication to making Amphitheater Campground special.

Sites were clean, great views, private feeling. Hiking trails from camp. Hosts (esp David and Nancy) were very friendly and accommodating. Only had reservation for one night and they found a ffs for next 3 nights. I’ll be back!

The camp host, Steve was amazing! So very helpful and friendly. The campground itself was beautiful. It's a bit tight but once you're in your spot, the beauty and wildlife come to life. Really enjoyed our stay!

We love this campground - our family favorite! It has the best views, wildlife and camp hosts. It’s right off the perimeter trail and close to town. We plan to come back every summer!!
