Doris Campground

Beautiful campsite! Just a few steps away from the water, and a direct shot down the road to the bathrooms and showers (locking stalls, showers, TP - all we needed for camping bathrooms!). The site itself had so much shade, there were many tent location options. We did see wild longhorns a couple times during our stay, which was surprising to stumble upon, but you are in a wildlife refuge! The front entry had firewood and ice available, which was unexpected and very convenient. The campground is just a short drive to Mt Scott, Medicine Park, and many amazing hiking sites just down the road. We are definitely returning to Doris, and probably this same site again!

We stayed for one night while traveling. The park is BEAUTIFUL. Plenty of wildlife surrounding the area, including in the campground- several cows made their way through. There is so much to see and do in the 5 mi around the park. The sites are big and secluded. Our only issue was the facilities- it was the most outdated shower service I’ve used at any camp. I understand the expectation of bugs and such when going outdoors, but the shower was difficult to use with the bottom filling with water, poorly draining, and several large spiders and scorpions around you. They were doing maintenance on some of the showers and bathrooms, so maybe an update is on its way. We appreciated the firewood and ice being close, and even the folks at the visitor center were incredibly kind. We were headed out early in the day before they opened, and they let us in early so we could buy some souvenirs from our visit.

beautiful campground, nice to have access to water now, just not at the campsites. would be nice to have cell service though for contact with family or emergency use.

Hail storm from previous night left lots of branches & leaves scattered about--but that's the way hail storms are. Roads good, shower house good. All good.

Site 36 was close to lake and older bathroom and shower facility. Shower facility was outdated but they are opening a new one. It was quiet. Good biking though the camp. Nice short hike to Nature Educational Center over foot bridge. Lots to see in the preserve. Good hiking, lots of wildlife to see and photograph, many small lakes and an interesting information center. I will be going back again.

Be alert for raccoon raiders at night. You will want to secure your camp. Discovered one in back of my pickup right off when arriving first night. They are cute but can be pesky. Please dont feed them and encourage bad behavior.
