What Guests Are Saying
Huckleberry Campground is praised for its cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and friendly camp hosts who take pride in their work. The beautiful setting by the river offers opportunities for relaxation and outdoor activities, making it a favorite for families. However, some guests noted noise from nearby logging trucks and felt that the pricing was high, especially regarding additional fees for electricity.

The bathrooms were exceptionally clean, other campers were friendly and respectful, and the camping spots all seemed to have a nice mix of sun, shade, access to the water, and privacy. We'll be back.

As hard as it was to get reservations, found out that BLM has reservered 4 sites for the season for Native Americans. Those site were NOT occupied during the entire week we were there. We were limited to a 14 day stay. Why is this group given special consideration? This eliminated 4 sites that could have been used by the general public.

A great campground with wonderful hosts! Very clean grounds and restrooms. Quiet and peaceful. Everything was well taken care of! It is hard to reserve a spot here so when one opened up we quickly reserved it and drove up to see what it was like. The hosts were there and let us look around the site and when we returned for our reservation they remembered us. They had great suggestions for river use and told us many interesting things about the nearby town of Avery. Avery is a great little place to visit-so much history, and our 10 year old grandson loved the museum and train too! We will definitely go back if we can find a spot. Some spots were reserved for long periods of time, but no one was in them which was strange so we'll check into that. We hope to return.
