Whiting

Super nice campgrounds! I loved show shaded the campsite is and a majority of the campsites are from what I saw. There isn’t really anything to do in whiting. I would suggest bringing activities to pass time or bring other people because camping is always fun when there’s more! There was a trail right behind our campsite that people were waking up early to jog/walk. Which was a little bit annoying just because it would be 6 AM and I’d be woken up by joggers having loud conversations. But other than that it wasn’t too bad. Unfortunately there was no running water the dates that I was there so the nearest bathrooms were closed. The closest outhouse we had to drive to every time we wanted to go because it was a bit far from our campsite. Our mistake was probably getting campsite number 1 lol it was right next to the camp host. It wasn’t bad it was just far from the bathrooms and the there were loud joggers. But other than that it was a very enjoyable stay and we would definitely come again!

Loved the campsite and the yurt! Beautiful! But I never received my deposit back even though the camp host checked everything over and we signed the form. It’s been over 6 weeks now. We have wanted to go back but $200 for one night is extremely expensive.

Pros: We loved the campsite, it had refreshing shade, gorgeous trails and creek side walks, and the campsites themselves were clean. The shade provided privacy and we thoroughly enjoyed the area! The price was also fantastic for the area!

Cons: When we arrived, our site (which we reserved and paid for in advance) had been taken by another camper who was reluctant to move. Luckily, the host did insist (politely) on him moving, but this made it so that we weren't able to set up my mom's tent until after dark (the camper took a long time to take down his site). The camper put his receipt/paid notice literally on top of our reservation tag, so that was frustrating that it was allowed.
The worst, though, was that the bathrooms were absolutely filthy and horribly smelly. We've been camping in countless sites our whole lives, we've seen some gnarly restrooms, but I am telling you, even my 3 year old refused to use the restroom (without knowing our reactions). He kept holding it in because he didn't want to go in there. It was really gross. We did tell the host when he checked in and he said he'd take care of it, but as far as we could tell, the only change was the addition of an odor eliminator, which helped a tiny bit, but it didn't help the unsanitary condition of the toilet itself, or the floor, walls, etc. it was bad. Obviously, if you have your own restroom, you don't need to worry about that, but if not, that's a consideration to make when reserving.
Lastly, we received emails that there wasn't any water at the site during our reservation (kind of a bummer, but out of anyone's control, no big deal, we packed it in), but it turned out there was water available and we didn't receive any updates. We discovered it ourselves and used the tap during the camp. I would have loved to know that it was working somehow so that we could use it for the whole camp to wash hands, etc. (messy toddlers and preteen explorers).
Over all, we had a wonderful time! It was beautiful.

Lovely campground with lots of shade and a nice hiking trail.
