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.

We had the best site and just loved our stay. Our water faucet was broken when we got there, but they came right out to fix it. Small campground and quiet for the most part. Very quiet at night.

Well sized sites and well maintained. Only issue is that we weren't able to get firewood there and couldn't find a place nearby. Otherwise, great spot and easy access to nice hikes.

Very nice campground. The public road to the campground is very hilly with steep drop offs and no shoulder. It could be a white knuckle drive for some folks.
