What Guests Are Saying

The Terraces Campground offers a great group site nestled in the trees, with several non-concrete areas suitable for tent pitching. Some visitors mistakenly drive in, thinking they can use the space, which can create confusion. Overall, it's a wonderful spot for groups, despite occasional interruptions from day-use seekers.

This is a group site. People drive in frequently and try to stay in some of the spots, not realizing you have booked the entire site.

Really great campsite with a few non-concrete areas for pitching a tent. It was a little awkward when people came looking for a day use picnic area and we were spread through the whole site.

The location was very private and perfect for our summer camp training for work. We had plenty of space for all out tents and supplies. The place was clean and well kept. Very scenic!

The campground is actually a picnic area, and is set up as such. There are no tent pads. To set up tents, you have to spread out to the edges of the picnic areas, or find clearings. Luckily, this is pretty easy to do. My group had about 30 tents, and there was room for everyone. The site is large, centrally located, and has great views.

Our group enjoyed the site. The only problem was sometimes in the morning there was a terrible gasoline type smell. Might have been from the very nice host who used his generator? Everything was perfect.

Great group site for tents. In spite of the smoke from CA we had a wonderful time. Great base camp to access hiking, etc. Views from the campsite are wonderful. Camp host was attentive and also gave us space. Kept the restrooms clean and willingly answered our questions.

We really enjoyed our two nights here. The bathrooms and picnic tables were very clean. It was nice to be able to reserve the whole area for our family. The campground host was very friendly, helpful, and available. The only issue that we had was that it was difficult to find places to put all of our tents up. We thought that each of the sites would have space for a tent, but only a few did. We ended up putting some tents on the concrete picnic table pads, which worked, but wasn't ideal. Overall, it was a great experience.
