Spring Drive RV Campground

The actual site (008) could have been better. Not terribly surprising since the whole campground area is slightly hilly, but the site was not that level - needed height adjustments on 3 wheels, more than any other location I visited on my trip. The layout of the utilities was poor - the sewer was far enough away to require an extension hose and placed so it was difficult to avoid having the sewer hose cross the water line. The 30A breaker on the electrical box failed (failed, not tripped) so I lost electricity unexpectedly but was fortunately able to get the 20A connection to work.

On the bright side, the host was attentive - greeted us on arrival, checked on the problems, and delivered the firewood I purchased. Also enjoyed the clean picnic table and the fire pit, both located up a small rise (maybe 4 ft) from the parking pad.

Very caring and efficient camp hosts.

This is a hidden gem from USFS. Visited friends who live about 30 miles away and even though they pass by the entrance at least once a month, they did not know the campground was equipped for RV's.
The tree canopy is so good that it gets dark about two hours before the wide-open country 5 miles away.
Only issue was that hookups for our space 7, was way behind the RV and had to have extensions on water and sewer to reach the hookups.
Would return if need to be in the area. A grocery store with basic supplies is about 8 miles east and a great little general store with an unbelievable supply of RV accessories (tongue jacks, every electrical adapter you can think of, sewer hoses, fresh water, chemicals, etc. is located in Wamic about 40 miles NE.

Beautiful and quiet! Strange little shacks at each camp site that are un-useable. Other than that, it was a completely enjoyable week there held by a circle of large trees with stars at the top in the clear nights. One of my new favorite places to camp - so peaceful. Enjoy!

We stayed in site 7. The site was spacious yet felt secluded. The campground is against a bit of a hill and site 7 was toward the top. It has these cute little stairs that lead to the picnic table and fire pit. I wouldnt want to use a tent at the site as it has small sharp rocks everywhere but IDK if they allow tents anyway. There were wild flowers and fruit bushes in camp. They didnt have water when we went and like others have stated, the waste connection is too far away for even 2 sets of normal RV waste tubes to reach. So be aware of that. You will need leveling blocks here because again, its against a hill. Overall it was a great stay and since it was not right off a busy highway, it was really quiet at night.

This campground is beautiful and serene, and the hosts, Kimberly and Chad, were kind and very helpful! We stayed in site 6, which was very secluded. We felt that sites 5, 6, and 7 were the nicest, and most secluded sites. I would recommend if you choose one of these sites, that when entering the campground, go to the left - clockwise - around the loop to have better backing access to these sites. It has been mentioned in other posts that the sewer connections are not the most convenient, which they are not. I would suggest that a person have at least 30 feet of drain hose to reach the connections. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and will return in the not too distant future!

Stayed one night in site 7 with a 39 ft class A Motorhome while passing through the area. Very quiet.

Awsome place. I want to keep it a secret. Will be going back hopefully next year. So peaceful.

We have spent Independence day at Spring Drive with friends for several years now. We love the location, the quiet, and the friendly people. I am concerned that we had little supervision this year with no camp host and over the last few years many of the sites appear to be deteriorating. The remaining old buildings are unsightly and much of the space needs manicured. In years past we were spared the noise of ATV/OHVs but with no one there to enforce that rule it was removed from the entry regulations. The few that were there were well behaved but I wonder for the future.
Thanks for asking, we look forward to next year's visit

Excellent site in the mountains , would rate higher but water supply was tainted, not useable.
I also had to pay for 2 reservations for 2 consecutive nights, as I had to move sites due to availability. Glad I could stay both nights, but happy to pay reservation fee twice. Super host
