Mount Princeton

While the reservations system for the campgrounds are rather poor, the campground itself is very good. The campground host Chubby is fantastic. He and his wife work very hard to make sure everyone has a good stay. I saw Chubby help out a lot of folks that came in with big campers. The website doesn't show the size of the campsite and so some people were unaware that they booked a smaller site that wouldn't fit their rig. The website is mediocre at best. The campground hosts at Mount Princeton are excellent!

Our site (I believe it was #9), which was next to the restrooms, had such a strong stench it was nauseating. We stayed at peak of summer, which did not help, but also meant there was no other campsites available nearby. Luckily we had hikes and other activities planned during the day, but this made hanging out at the site, making dinner, etc., an extremely uncomfortable experience for us and our guests who had traveled from out of state for the trip. We noticed that the restrooms were in dire need of septic service, which likely contributed to the problem, but when brought to the attention of the campsite care taker, he just laughed and said "that's how it goes with campsite #9!" I have had other sites next to the restroom, but never experienced a downwind stench like that! Just wanted to put this warning out to other campers, don't book sites #9 - 11! Definitely a shame, because the campsite is perfectly situated in a beautiful location.

Fantastic place to camp! Dive site I picked was not large enough for my 10 man tent, but would fit in sideways. Need better signs to find location. Over all we could not of found a better place to set up camp. Restrooms clean and campground itself was amazing. Small hikes along the stream and out of the way of major tourists.
