Little Beaver Campground offers a serene and clean environment, with well-maintained pit toilets, potable water, and proximity to beautiful hiking trails and scenic views of Little Beaver Lake. Visitors appreciate the small size and peaceful atmosphere, making it a great spot for those looking to escape the crowds. However, some reviewers reported issues with campsite reservation discrepancies and mosquito infestations, suggesting caution during bug season.

Great experience overall. Large campsite with plenty of room between sites. The only problem was the 3-mile, narrow and winding gravel road to the campground which could accommodate only small trailers. Pulling our 21-foot trailer down the road was a little scary.

Small, nice campsite with the worst-smelling vault toilet I have ever encountered. I could smell the toilet in my tent 200 ft away. The western end of 12-mile beach is beautiful and well worth the 1.5-mile hike to get there.

I love this campground because of the proximity to some remarkable hikes. Little Beaver lake is right at the campground too. The campground is a bit hairy getting into because of the road, but it has been improved tremendously. They do cap the length of the vehicle

Its extremely hard to back our tiny 18 ft. trailer into a site. It appears to be intentional making it hard on trailer campers to use this campground. ie... more guided towards pop up or tent campers. Frustrating because we have fished this for over 40 years and have seen the negative changes to fishermen and trailers campers desires. We found the campground tidy and clean. We were the very first ones for the summer season because it opened on the very day we stayed. Bathrooms were super clean for outhouses. Fire pits were tidy. Boat launch was good. Park ranger had no personality. He was rather abrasive. We were legal w/ our new added fee vehicle permit and our posted campsite
permit that I printed so I wasn't hastled like others at 9am. Most campers didn't post their permit so they were woke up by a ranger. Seen a girl ticketed for sleeping in her car at the boat launch parking area. No sites available... tired of driving so slept there. Bad idea... expect a rude ranger and a ticket. p.s. NO SIGNAGE POSTED FOR BOAT TRAILER PARKING BY THE LAUNCH... SO WE HAD TO UNDUE TRAILERS AND BACK THEM INTO THE WOOD BECAUSE HIKERS PARKED IN BOAT TRAILER AREA. Put up some signage. Weather was cold because of that bugs werent' bad until last. Fishing was terrible. No darn fish that lake. Road going in this year was pretty good. Our camp had 4 vehicles for 4 guys. all paid the new vehicle fee of $30 for the season. Park Service reeped their fees on us. Use to be just pay for a site and fish w/ a gas motor. Not anymore. We had to row full end of the lake do the weather an no juice left in battery. Would have called 911 but there is no service. Terrible idea shutting off lake to gas motors. We almost had a heartattack rowing. both in our 60s. Hope you have a spotter if you stay in a trailer... you will need it do to huge stones placed where you back up everywhere.

Beautiful, quiet location. Our rig lost all battery power and we couldn't close or pull up leveling jacks. No cell service either. So as we wondered what to do next, some young women camping next to us offered their car for us to go find cell service and call for help. As we were contemplating this, a park staff member came by to check on the camping site. We told him our dilemma and he went out of his way to get a small portable generator which was enough to start us up. Outstanding service by the park staff and the young women camping near us. One knows the risk of camping off grid but assumes it all works out in the end. Thanks to these folks it did. Beautiful place to be.
