This a nice campground that provides access to good hikes and the Spring creek. It is a short drive to Hot Springs. It was perfect for me, but others might need more facilities than the porta-potty set up that is currently there.

I love this campground, it’s one of the prettiest ones I have been to. I wish it was better funded though as many things are in disrepair and unkempt. It makes me sad and worried that this campground may not always be around.

There was only one other person staying at the campground, so we had it nearly to ourselves. The sites were clean, and our dogs loved it there! We hiked the short loop (about 2 mi I think rt), and we hung out at the stream while the dogs played. Beautiful spot, and the campgrounds were nice and decently maintained although it seems like not many people stay there — maybe it was just our timing.

Not maintained. Grass around campsites and restrooms had not been mowed in a very long time. The road has huge potholes or better word would be craters . The area is beautiful I always enjoy the mountains and spring creek is one of my favorite places but the campground which was once very nice is now falling apart.

quiet and clean campground. There were an abundance of tent platforms and fire rings terraced into one side of the hill (way more than the number of reserve-able tent sites) and it was fun to explore. It was a little bit warm and still since the campground is in a ravine, and the mosquitos made their presence known. ~5 min drive from hot springs. Would stay here again when in the area.
