Mount Princeton Campground is highly praised for its beautiful location, clean facilities, and friendly camp hosts who maintain the grounds well. Many visitors enjoy the nearby river, hiking opportunities, and local attractions, making it a great base for outdoor activities. While some campers noted issues with odors from pit toilets and close campsite proximity, overall experiences are overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

Two of our three sites had been given away to other campers when we arrived. Everyone in our group was forced into a smaller tent site. I did receive a refund but am not thrilled with this experience.

Most everything at the campsite was good. One thing that was annoying was that the map showing the camp site did not accurately show was the restroom was. Obviously it moved side the map / picture was added at it was right next to our campsite. For the first day we were down wind from it and it was not a pleasant smell. After that the wind changed and it was ok.

Great small campground. The river (Chalk Creek) was roaring with snowmelt. Bathroom were vault toilets but they were extremely clean--they clean them 3 times a day. Only a few minutes from St. Elmo ghost town, and a few minutes from the hot springs. We will stay again for sure.
