Super pretty spot! Lots of space for cars and tents. Right next to the creek to hang out by as well!

Great place for camping, tons of trees, some parking spots are small but good for 2 cars or more, we were at spot 4 and were able to fit 2 cars, a ten men tent plus extra space for more tents, the river is close by, walking distance for an area kids can play or to get extra water, group size was next to us lot 8, big parking lot next to the bathrooms, was pretty nice, spot 7 was next to us but notice to access that spot you parked by bathrooms same as 8, I’m not sure but I think 7/8 are both together the group site and in between them there is a swing hanging out of the tree my kids had fun with that, until the group came and kick them out. Bathroom were clean, magically didn’t stink. There is a hike you can do from the camp site, that goes all the way up is difficult level, we didn’t finish it because we were with my 2 1/2 years old and I was pregnant, so we didn’t see the end of the trail. Overall was nice clean and quiet. You have to pay $10 per night per extra car cash or check, the road to get there is gravel but easy to get there, we were in a mini van and made it fine, spot 5 had a long parking lot but spot 6 not sure where you parked was the smallest spot I saw.
Sorry I’m writing a big review because when I was looking into this place I didn’t see many reviews and I hope this can be helpful to others, one more thing I had limited cellphone service but my son with T-Mobile he had none other members of my family had service poor but with service, T-Mobile was the only one with no service

Site number 3 had creek access and was close to the bathroom. It was fairly private too. Nice big grate over the fire for cooking on too.

Beautiful site. No ATVs in the campsite but plenty of trails around to ride. A very large portion to hang by the stream. Great shade and plenty of adventure. Only down side is the bathroom access. There's one in the middle of the 8 or 9 sites, but it is needing some work ( old school potties, tons of active black widdows in both men's and womens) the decent Jons are clear over on the Northwest side of the area so if you might need your ATV if there's a dire need.

Spot #3 is my favorite. Close to the river, easy to back in to, and separated from the group. Perfect for littles. Wish the tent square was bigger, but a wonderful experience nonetheless.

We stayed in campsite 5. Plenty of room for our pop up trailer and minivan. There is a little trail in the campsite that leads to the stream. Close to the bathroom but we never had a problem with the smell. We didn’t know what to expect when camping near Grantsville, but we were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful this place was. We also went on the hike that is located within the camp ground. We hiked 1 mile up. It’s steep but pretty and we came to the saddle. Would definitely stay here again.
