Despite the tropical weather and the nearby tornado, I really enjoyed being at West Thompson. The volunteer hosts as always were so friendly and helpful. They keep the campground, bathrooms, and sites immaculate. Absolutely love it there.

Peaceful and quiet like most state park campgrounds but a better deal and even better kept than most state park campgrounds.

The sites are well maintained, as are the bathroom facilities (seriously cleanest campground bathroom I’ve been in). There’sa playground for kids and hiking trails that are clearly marked. The smaller blue loop of them was a great distance for my small child aged 5

We enjoyed this campground and would stay again if in the area! Hosts checking us in and out were very nice! We did a couple small hikes while there.
Most campsites were pretty private.
