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.

Our camping experience earned a solid four stars. The area is beautiful, the river is refreshing, and it was a great time. However, we were also promptly met by Jerry (the camp host) and given a rundown of the campground rules.

We had a large crowd and multiple small children. On the fourth night, Jerry instructed us to move our small gas fire pit from the gravel parking lot to fire rings provided. This request seemed impractical; the pit provided is very close to trees and the space was limited, leaving little room for everyone to comfortably gather. In addition, we were unable to see the littles riding their bikes around the loop. The logic behind this move was unclear (especially with the fire danger) as it was not a problem for the first 3 nights. We tried to reason that we were within our campsite and a large gravel area, but there was no leeway. There was old wood in the provided fire pits and we were told to clean it out ourselves to make room for the gas pit. The shifting requirements felt a bit excessive.

I would like to suggest that the fire rings be moved away from the trees, so that a family can fit around the fire pit without sitting in the long grass behind it. Overall, the area is beautiful and we had a nice stay.

First the price went up 300 percent. Then when we pulled in to the campground the camp host started being rude and laying down the law. We have been coming to this campground for many years and we were never treated like we were this year. We will not be camping there again. There are plenty of free camping spots on Forest Service Federal land.

Great spot right off the rest area. Site was only slightly off level but easily fixed by moving around a bit. Camp host attentive

Loved the location and the fact that there was a river right in the campground was extra cool. The grounds were very well kept clean. The only negative was at around 5 AM the logging trucks start coming by and the campground is right along the highway. Worth it though.

The only draw back was being close to the highway when logging trucks were very early and woke us up. But other than that it was a very great place to stay.

The campground is right beside the road and can be noisy when logging truck drivers use their Jake brake. Helpful camp host.

Can't park both our vehicles in our reserved spots. Am handicapped. Can't park off the pavement. Need to make pavement big enough to accommodate at least 2 vehicles. Campers have to abide by the restrictions, so why is the host parked off pavement and has stuff parked on the grass?
