What Guests Are Saying
Sutton Bluff Recreation Area is appreciated for its clean surroundings and excellent swimming area, with many campers enjoying the ATV trails accessible from the campground. However, there are concerns about the decline in facilities without a campground host, including dirty bathrooms, lack of supplies, and maintenance issues. Visitors are advised to navigate carefully to avoid unimproved roads and may want to book cautiously due to reports of overcrowding and site mix-ups.

Fantastic campground for families. Large sites. We always reserve double lots 4 and 6 but they fill up quickly. I wish there were more large spots with electric. I love the ability to drive ATV/UTVs and people are all very cautious when driving through the campground. We had a problem with the hot water in the showers this visit so that was a downfall and the reason for the 4 stars. We use the showers instead of our camper because they are nice and roomy. Host is very nice and friendly. I love camping here.
