What Guests Are Saying
Blue Heron Campground is well-maintained, peaceful, and offers clean facilities, making it a favorite for many visitors. The proximity to hiking trails, especially the Blue Heron Loop, adds to its appeal. While some campers noted noise from nearby children and the absence of a campground host, the overall atmosphere is friendly and the campground provides a great outdoor experience.

The road going to the campgrounds is narrow. The camping sites are roomy and very nice. Very few sites for large campers, mainly for 30' or less. Very quiet and beautiful area with lots of trails nearby.

Small campground but very nice place to camp. Bathhouse had recently been painted and was very clean. Plenty of hiking trails and things to do right outside the campground.

Nobody anywhere near us on a weekend in Nov. Hot showers in a heated clean bathhouse and we normally don't use electric but plugged in a space heater at our site when it dipped into the teens at night. Amazing site for $20. There's a great outdoor museum for the mine nearby too.
