What Guests Are Saying
Lower Penstemon campground offers a clean and quiet environment, often with little crowding, making it a great spot for campers. Visitors appreciate the beautiful natural surroundings, including a nearby creek and sightings of wildlife like moose. However, some facilities, such as restrooms and water access, need improvement, and there are occasional issues with flies and website navigation for reservations.

I only use this small campground during the week and almost always (I've stayed there 8 times over 6 years) I'm the only camper. It's clean, quiet,and has great road access. I often see moose here along rock creek at dusk.

We loved the site. Be warned that there are a lot of flies particularly around the farthest camp site in the back. The water is not working and you will need to go up to Upper Penstemon to get water. There are also

Excellent experience. Friendly forest service workers. My only complaint is that I had to clean the outhouse when we arrived.

Stay was great ,the website wasn't the easiest to navigate AND i should state somewhere in there that you get charged for your spot and additional charge to reserve on each spot. Which i did not see anywhere.

The campground is beautiful and quiet. It has a nice little creek that my kids and pups loved! The only downfall is the restrooms across from campsite 1 was in very poor condition.
