Our camp host Linda was extremely helpfu
l in locating the perfect site for our group.
Linda also helped us throughout our stay, kept the facilities (restrooms) spotless, inquired how she might make our stay more enjoyable, and provided our group with lots of local information and helpful advice.
Linda is an incredible asset to the Forest service campground.

Wonderfully remote and not too difficult to access for a newbie like me. Very limited amenities and a good distance to services. Camp host Linda keeps the mountain in great condition! Her passion shows!

We paid significant amount to rent the campground for 3 days for a family reunion. Day 1 about half way through the day we ran out of TP in the bathrooms and they never restocked it as the bathrooms were not cleaned one time while we were there. They reeked of ammonia and when we requested to be cleaned and stocked were told "we will get to it" yet they were never to be seen.

I have tried to reserve a loop in porcupine springs every year for family, friends,and this last time was a bunch of co-workers. It’s always been an awesome experience

There is no internet here. Also there was no solid, flat place for tents. The campsites are pretty close together. We did see some wild life including frogs, deer, and a moose. Would camp here again!

Great group spot. They only have a tiny sign on a huge board to say you have the group site reserved. No reservations on the individual sites and people come in and try to camp in your spots. I had to hang the reservation on each spot. It needs to be better identified that it is reserved

We enjoyed our stay and ride on the south hills adventure trail. We also enjoyed visiting the hummingbird feeding station and saw a moose the first day. The campground was peaceful with few other campers Sun. - Tues. It did get quite chilly overnight in June, but was beautiful during the day. We look forward to returning again.
