Doris Campground

It was so much fun camping at Doris. We saw squirrels, deer, raccoons, lizards, birds, coyotes, and spiders, and all that was at our campsite.

I had read about water being available at the campground but it sure was hard to find! I had to drive around each loop until I found a camp host and ask where I could find water even then it was hard to get to since it was all overgrown and slippery from algae. I swear I had read about water hook-ups in the loop we stayed in. What a surprise when there was only electric hook-ups.

It was nice and quiet. Our site had a view of the lake which was nice.

Bathrooms were like saunas in the August heat.

Our site and the few we walked through had a lot of trash on the ground and in the fire rings which was a bit disappointing. Wish there was a way to charge previous campers a cleaning fee if they don't clean up their trash.

Beautiful little campground!

The campsite is well-maintained and has very pretty scenery. The raccoons are a bit excessive, you'd expect some pests while camping, but I had 13 different raccoons approach my camp at night. Two of them tried to get into my tent and several were hard to scare off, about half ran for the hills from my flashlight or clapping. Other than the raccoon problem, it was a great time while I was there.

Campground was fine, big guy with beard was an *%&$#. We showed up an hour and half early not realizing check in was 3pm saying they needed to get site ready. The campground was empty, I get it when it's busy.

It was a little difficult to find our campsites given the limited signage and one-way streets. The water spigots need signage as well, as do restrooms. The restrooms were a hike from our campsite, so not ideal. We had to drive to fill up water coolers at the spigots.

While these are manageable, the evening visits from raccoons were a real pain. Raccoons tore a hole in one tent to raid a Clif bar stash, and helped themselves through a partially unzipped door of another to steal a few cold-brew tea bags. We'd chase them off, but they would come right back--there were very comfortable around people. Some of our group had to stay up while others slept to keep the raccoons from causing more night-time disturbances.

We felt like we were one with nature. As we were driving in we saw a herd of buffalo. Once at our campsite overlooking the lake, we saw longhorn cattle at the waters edge. We also had a turkey walk past us in the next campsite!!! It was peaceful and beautiful!

Very clean and quiet campground. Spotted some wild turkeys close by. I really enjoyed my stay.
