Yellowpine

Camp hosts were great and offered help for anything we needed. Campground was in great shape. Only complaint would be the herb of cows always bumbling through

A fantastic campground. Very well maintained, the trees are large and plentiful providing lots of shade. The river and surrounding area is like paradise.

We love this campground, it's shady, well kept and usually quiet.

I would actually rate our stay 4.5 stars if I could. Beautiful campground, would stay again!
POSITIVES:
-Nearby creek & nature trail were awesome. Lots of places for kids to explore, but not go too far.
-Camp spaces aren't too close together.
-Bathrooms were clean and well-maintained (other than not always having soap). Two thumbs up for flushing toilets!!
-Camp hosts were very attentive, but not intrusive.
-A LOT of wildlife in the campground: we saw several deer, lots of chipmunks & squirrels, a few mice (yes), lots of interesting birds, & beautiful butterflies. Not a lot of mosquitoes- my husband & kids are usually magnets for those suckers. They each came home with only 1 bite & I got none.
-Plenty of water taps; you don't have to go far for water.
-Pretty quiet (except for nature sounds- squirrels were a little chattery). There was one rowdy group at a double site up the road, but luckily we were far enough away that it was only an issue when we were up near the bathroom.
NEGATIVES:
-Although there are a lot of trees, most of the sites have very little shade during the middle of the day, especially where the picnic tables are. Our tent was shaded in the morning until about 10:00 AM, but the table started getting sun around 9:00, and it heated up fast. The sun didn't go behind the trees until about 6:30 or 7:00 PM. Fortunately we had a pop-up shade canopy that made a huge difference. I highly recommend bringing some kind of shade device with you. It was pretty hot during the day (mid-80s) and it was pretty chilly/cold during the night (upper-40s I would guess).
- There are 2 bathrooms for the entire campground; one at the bottom (near sites 1 and 2) & one at the top (near sites 11 & 12). A decent trek if you're in the middle.
- Only other negative was with the squirrels/chipmunks hunting for food. Make sure any food is well contained, because they will chew through boxes & plastic bags to get your grub. They gnawed on a banana, some grapes, & several cookies.

This is an amazing campground, especially the group sites were right by the creek. The only down side is people walk through your site ... and kids bike through your site ...

Booked the wrong camp. There is a "Yellow Pine" campground ~50 miles from from the "Yellowpine" campground. This should be noted on the reservations page.

Beautiful, clean campsite. This is a real gem!

Beautiful Campground. The real problem is that the perimeter fence is broken and cattle is in the campground. This leaves lots of cow pies you have to be careful of and also the cows are bawling all hours right outside the campsites.

This place was gorgeous! It matched all of my expectations for a wonderful camping trip.
The good:
*It was very quiet. 4 wheelers and ATVs are not allowed so if you are looking for trail riding, look elsewhere. But this kept it nice a quiet.
*The bathrooms are wonderful. No showers, but running water and a real toilet are a huge plus.
* The river is beautiful and the nature trail that was there was very pretty and fun for kids.
*Paved roads around the campsite. I wish we would have had space for scooters or bikes for my kids to ride on.
*Lots of shade among the beautiful huge yellow pine trees. (They really do smell like vanilla.)
* The Stillwater reservoir breached while we were there (June 17, 2020) and it was spectacular!!

The bad:
*Wish it had showers
*The Tent pads in each site were 15' x 15' so they were a touch small for my larger tent. But we made it work.
*Some of the campsites had grill grates on the fire pits. Ours did not, but it wasn't a huge deal.

Overall, a very pretty place with great hiking, and camping. 5 stars for sure!

REPEAT CAMPER YEAR AFTER YEAR
