Porcupine Springs

We had fun and look forward to staying there again soon, we hope.

Very easy reservation process, with reminder emails up until the first day. Just wish other campers knew what the word”reserved” meant, lots of privacy disruptions. But very beautiful and well maintained campsites

Nice area

Site a little slanted

Wonderful stay with friends. Was told that potable water would be available but it lasted 10 minutes and was gone.

Turn on the water .clean bathroom Better

The location was perfect for us. We brought our Polaris and an Atv, to ride the many beautiful trails. We were moose hunting and were not disappointed. We found one napping in a snow bank and another large bull moose in a high meadow.
Vaulted toilets were open but had not been cleaned in some time. There was no available water in the entire campgrounds and a pile of tree trimmings were piled within our reserved site.

No water or garage service. Bathroom buildings were trashed- ran out of TP. Lots of ATV’s which can be fun or annoying depending. Spaces were larger and decent amount of tree separation. Be aware you’ll drive a couple miles on gravel to get here.

Porcupine Springs was very busy when we were there (3 nights in July). Nearly all the campsites were full, and there was lots of activity including evening parties, woodworking with power tools (run by a generator), loud festivities from the nearby group site, and frequent ATV traffic. This site seems to be a destination spot for ATVers, so if that's not your thing, you might want to steer clear. Other things to know: It's fairly easy to get to via a tame dirt road - you don't need four wheel drive. You do, however, need a decent sense of where you're going as the forest service roads don't seem to be well-labeled. The campground is in a pretty spot and there are some nice walks if you're prepared to bushwhack (the only trails we found were those for ATV use). Campsites are pretty close to the road and to each other, though each seems to have a little bit of forest behind it that is pretty, and nice if you need a bit of privacy. There is no room for tents back there, though. There is no camp host or supervision, so you're on your own in dealing with any issues that might come up. There's no cell service as far as I know, regardless of provider. There's also no trash - it's strictly "pack in, pack out." There are pit toilets and potable water spigots at regular intervals throughout the campground. All in all, I would have found greater peace and quiet welcome, but Porcupine Springs did serve the purpose for which we were there (to visit with family in the outdoors), and it offered some pleasant scenery in the process.

Great place to relax and enjoy a hike and the area. Was farther up than we expected but that was ok. On Sunday night we felt we were only ones there since most left Sunday morning.
