What Guests Are Saying

North Park is a beautiful and clean campground with helpful staff and great facilities, making it ideal for family trips and scuba diving. However, concerns have been raised about the park's transition to a Day Use Park, leading to safety issues due to lack of gate attendants and increased day-use traffic. Overall, while the location offers many positives, the management changes have diminished the camping experience.

Wonderful staff, great diving. While I would love to tell the whole world, I would like to also keep it as a hidden gem. Decisions, decisions, decisions!

Gate attendants are always extremely helpful. Campsites look the best I've seen since I started going in 2017. Love that there is firewood available if the burn ban is ever lifted. Brush has been cleaned up nicely. Nice new grills at each site.

Very clean rustic park. The gate attendant was friendly and drove to our spot to give us the lay of the land. The bbq grill and pit looked extremely new and high quality compared to most campsites. The table was older but in good shape, made of concrete. We had a nice breeze at night in August, but be prepared with some good battery powered fans. It’s refreshing to tent camp without any RVs around.

Great place for scuba diving and hanging out. Gate attendants are great. The park is very clean and maintained well much better than it was in the past. Could be better if the park was open more than just April- October and open other than just the weekend.

This is an absolutely great place to camp at canyon lake. Super friendly staff and peaceful spot to get away. It’s a great place for divers and nice for fishing too. There are boat rental places nearby for fun and plenty activities. Also love that there are stores and food nearby if necessary. I highly recommend this site if your looking to camp and have a blast!

Staff at the gate are super friendly and provide excellent orientation at check-in. Campsites have good BBQ rills, some with fire pits. Minimal latrine facility diminishes the experience as there is only one for the whole park.
