Doris Campground

Interesting geology, nice hikes and views, bison everywhere.

Campsites are well maintained, bathrooms & showers very clean and the camp hosts kind & helpful! Our site was only a ten minute hike to Little Baldy which has spectacular views. For some really fun bouldering take the left side on the Charon’s Garden trail and hike Elk Mountain. We did have troubles with some very bold raccoons, so make sure you contain & strap closed any food items.

First, I want to say Quentin Smith was a blessing. He took time to tell us about the campground and gave us a history lesson. The campground was beautiful, peaceful and for the most part clean. The trails and scenic drives were breathtaking. The camping spots were spacious and well cared for. We are already planning another trip when it is cooler. The only improvement needed is to have cool air set up for the bathrooms and showers in the summer. We loved it!

Doris Campground is an excellent, secluded area with clean campsites nicely separated among plenty of large trees. It provides a great place to camp while visiting the refuge and surrounding area. Our site (53) was a little challenging to get our Class A shoehorned into, but we managed. In the evenings, numerous deer, raccoon, armadillo, and of course squirrel, visited our site. The visitor center at the refuge is a must see - very well done. The refuge is large and beautiful - with elk, bison, longhorn, prairie dog and who knows what else visible as you drive through. A drive up Mount Scott was worth it. Wish we could have enjoyed it all longer. Mind you, sites have electric (actually ours was 50 amp), some water hydrants, a good dump station, but no T-Mobile cell coverage at the campground. It took us a while to find our site, but a stop at the visitor center as we arrived would have solved that issue.
