We camp annually at De Soto, Paul’s, and have a favorite campsite because of the features of the creek access at this campsite. Our annual trip was basically ruined because the neighboring campers had two dogs there that were constantly barking. Please Folks, if you’re going to bring markers with you at least attempt to quiet them. Better yet get a bark collar. We actually clapped when they left and stayed right till checkout time so we could at least enjoy two hours of peace.

This is a beautiful remote campground with amazing access to 2 short easy hikes to see the falls. The forest is lovely and the sites are private.

So many things to discover around the campgrounds. The bathrooms and showers were very clean at all times during our stay.

We had a wonderful time! There was some confusion about our campsite when we first got there but the camp host was so helpful and super nice. We will definitely go back!

Everything was amazing. This would have been 5 stars but there were so many motorcycles that were so loud CONSTANTLY. We had to wait for them to pass every couple minutes because we couldn’t yell over them. If you don’t mind that, I recommend getting the upper loop as the camp sites are a bit more separated and site 7 has a little stream running through it which is lovely at night.

Another great trip to Desoto Falls. Mr Doug and Mrs Brenda are the best camp hosts. They always make sure our needs are met.

It was nice. Camp hosts were friendly. Weather was good. No cell service at all. Showers were improved. New shower head and handle helps a lot. But a clear shower curtain in outdoor shower really…

Beautiful campsite - we arrived on Thursday and we had one campsite next to us occupied and other than that would not have known there were other people there. It picked up a bit on Friday, but the upper loop campsites are all quite privaters as mentioned you can hear the cars and trucks on 19, but not as disturbing as some people make it sound. And it definitely quiet ens down overnight, so really just during the day. Upper falls Are beautiful and about 0.75mile hike with a little uphill, but we did it with a 3 year old who walked all the way up and down. All facilities exactly as you would expect - functional and clean and didn’t have to wait once over the 2 days we were there. We will absolutely return.

DeSoto Falls Campground was awesome as usual. It never disappoints. The camp hosts are wonderful and always ready to help.
