Tailwater West Campground

Overall, I really enjoyed my time at the campground. I had full hookup with my RV and the site was nice, the campground was very clean. The only issue I had is that I did not know where the check in booth waa located, so I went ahead and set up prior to checking in. I learned that it was in a different location from where I was. I called and the lady I spoke to was very kind and checked me in. Volunteers came by the next day & gave me my park pass. The problem is that in my area, the pay booth is only open for a few hours a day, so I was not able to check out. Also, if you hook up to the water, make sure you don't forget to put on the regulator. The water at my spot was like a fire hose! After a minor mishap, I opted to just use my holding tank for running water. Everything else was excellent and we had a great time! Can't wait to go back!

Our stay was quiet and comfortable, the only issue stemmed from a rude camper who displayed poor camper etiquette by not leaving their site by the posted noon checkout. We arrived after 3pm to find this person not only still in our paid for spot but wasn’t even packed up to leave. We contacted the Tailwater office for which they told us we could get into a non full hookup spot for the night until they left??? So we requested to have a park ranger meet us at the site for which we reserved and paid for to rectify the issue. Can’t say enough GREAT THINGS about the park rangers assistance, she advised the person in the RV that they had to move immediately for which they did not. They said we cannot move because someone is in the spot that they are moving to. The ranger took action to another level and said they MUST MOVE OUT OF THE SPOT NOW. The selfish camper took their time packing up their items all the while stating they were not wrong because someone was in their spot at another campsite. So in the end we love this campground,the rangers are top notch,BUT this is something that needs to be addressed there is proper camping etiquette,if there was a medical emergency or mechanical problem we would totally understand. These type of people should be BLACK LISTED from staying at ANY army corps campgrounds for at least a year so they can think about their actions. Again we had really good time the park rangers did a excellent job,but please hold these TYPES accountable for their behavior and ignorance.

campground is very well maintained. rest room and shower house clean, fish cleaning station clean .

Campground is small with many spacious camp sites. Water and electric at every site some with full hookup. Concrete RV pads. Very quiet campground with plenty of shade. Fishing available just foot steps away from your campsite. Boat launch on the other side of the dam with a sandy beach separate from the boat launch.

We do our family camping trip here every year and love it

The campground was very well maintained. Bathhouse and shower were checked twice a day and cleaned when needed.
Will definitely stay again.

Phone and tv reception is very poor with gov building close and above a repeater tower could easily be installed as prices increase some of the services have seemed to decrease.

Clean and level site. Spacious between sites. Easy access to fishing area. Bathrooms are clean.

Cleanest facilities that I have ever been to.

Vert nice bathrooms and showers. Good atmosphere. Biking and kayaking available near by. Nice sites. Cool fossil gorge.
