Ward Mountain Campground is highly praised for its cleanliness, spacious and private sites, and beautiful surroundings, making it an ideal spot for camping and outdoor activities. Many visitors appreciate the well-maintained facilities and friendly camp hosts, highlighting the campground's quiet atmosphere and access to hiking and biking trails. However, some concerns were raised about noise from the nearby highway and the lack of water availability, but overall, guests expressed a desire to return for future visits.

The campsite was nice and the campground host very friendly. The skies are very dark so star gazing is AMAZING. We enjoyed our night stay. There is no water at the campground though, and there has been none since May. Just make sure to bring bottles of water with you or have some in your camper. You will enjoy your stay at Ward Mountain.

The campsite was very clean and organized however I was disappointed that there was no fresh water. Also, you can hear the noise from the highway. Those were the only drawbacks.

This was a great stopover going and coming from Missouri to the Redwoods. It was well maintained and met our needs perfectly.

We loved the 'backyard ' into the woods. Also, we left a hammer behind which the park staff quickly mailed back to us! (above and beyond what I expected). Good night sky star viewing. Clean. Friendly. An activity our kids loved (well honestly, the adults too) was Garnett Hill sifting for garnets for free.

Clean, well kept, easy access. A favorite place to stopover when heading north.

The camp ground and bathrooms were clean and nice. The tables at the group site were very dirty. The camp host was nice most of the time but when he had a complaint he was kind of nasty. Just saying things a little different would have made those encounters more pleasant.

Our site was close to level. Cellular AT&T coverage was pretty good. The park was very quiet at night.

One of the best CGs we've stayed in. Very clean and maintained. Water was down, but we carry our own.
