Tetilla Peak Campground offers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a great spot for those seeking tranquility in nature. Many visitors appreciated the spacious and well-maintained campsites, as well as the good water supply. However, there are notable concerns regarding the outdated and poorly maintained bathhouses, as well as issues with road conditions and a lack of on-site management. Despite these drawbacks, many campers expressed a willingness to return, valuing the campground's serene environment and affordability.

Beautiful. It's older compared to the sites on the other side of the lake.
There is H2O at one pump at the entrance after the dump station. H20 in the toilet house and sinks in the toilet house only. The night sky is amazing. The sites are big but they need a little racking for your own benefit.

CONS: dirty restrooms (didn't use, had my camper), no potable water, road into campground had HUGE potholes so drive very slowly/carefully
PROS: camped in October and only a few other people there, very quiet, campsites were very level and fairly well spaced out, only $10 a night for my electric!

This review is solely for the campground. The tent loop (Coyo) is all street parking, no driveways. The sites are well spaced and have beautiful views, but most of them are so unmaintained that you’d have a tough time finding anywhere to pitch your tent at all. It’s worth the extra few bucks to stay in the loop with hookups just to have a good tent pad. The bathrooms are serviceable, but they’re also long since forgotten about. It’s beautiful, but I don’t think anybody has maintained the grounds in decades.
The BIA road coming in is all paved and isn’t horrendous, but be very careful as there are some large (avoidable) pot holes that could easily ruin your day. Recommend you come before sunset for this reason.

Showed up for reservation to showers being locked and no water at camp site. This was our rest stop and we left a day early. Plus no host.

Nice place to camp, not fancy.

We had to groom our site: Pull knee high weeds; cut down small tree from under picnic table so it could be used; mark two very large ant hills in order to avoid them. Very hard for women to shave legs when there's no light in the shower room

This was a wonderful little campground. The views are exceptional and it was so wonderfully quiet out there, which is one of the things I love. The only downside at all was there were lots of goat head stickers but that’s the only problem. Showers were decent and lots of hot water and all together a great experience.

Only stayed from late night until early morning when another arrangement fell through. Beautiful to wake up there. Didn't get to explore but would another time.

Check in was easy, friendly and helpful camp host. The park is well kept and the bathrooms were clean. We enjoyed our stay and if in the area again would make a point to revisit.

The family and I really enjoyed this spot. Easy access to swimming and boat launch. The road didn't seem as bad as others who posted made it out to be or they've done some repairs. Nice views and quite. We will be going again.
