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.

The campground itself was great. The vault toilets were terrible. They were filthy. The floors were carpeted with dead flies. The camp host from porcupine springs kindly came and cleaned them a couple of days into our stay. It was not her job, but whomever job it was had failed to do it. Other than that, good place to camp.

It was really hard to find. The lower campground is not labeled and near impossible to find. There was no working water. The bathrooms were quite impossible to go in because of the amount of flies and smell. Once we were settled into our campsite, it was amazing. But the process to get there is somewhat difficult. It is an hour off the highway, and you will have no service.

The campground was dirty when we got there. We had to brush off the table and pick up garbage left by past campers. We left it a lot cleaner than we found it, other than that it was a fairly shady spot. It would have been nice if there was more signage, to where the trails were located.

Camping is located at side of very transit road. No water at camping. Not very good place to spend the night.

No fresh water was available at either Lower or Upper Penstemon. Had to drive several miles up the canyon to Diamondfield Jack to get water. The picnic table at my site was very dirty. There was litter in the site. Some can only be blamed on the previous campers but there is no excuse for the lack of water.
