We camped in groupsite B The campsite was fine the camp host was good and accomadating. The only problem was there was no water and no indication we wouldnt have water on the website or the Email they provided to prepare for our trip the only thing it said was there was no hookups and you could not hook up trailers to the spigots implying that the spigots had water for other purposes, because of this we had to go down the canyon to get jugs of water for camp clean up purposes it was definatly inconvinent. We also ended up having to share our 2 stall bathrooms with Group site A the last couple of days because their bathrooms were locked and they had 200+ campers so it cause a consitant line and inconvience in our camp. We called to have these concerns addressed and they told us the water has not been on for years so there is really no excuse for not informing us of this issue sooner.

Low hanging branches across roads make it challenging for trailers.
I must have missed that the water was turned off. Other than that we had a great time. It was clean. Camp host was awesome.

We really enjoyed our time at Whiting. The camp host was wonderful!. It would have been helpful to know in advance that the spigots had been capped off and there was not any drinking water available.

The campground is super cute, very shady, the creek running thru the campground is fantastic. However, sites are close together, a fair amount of sites are backwards if you have a trailer. Great for tent camping. Sites above 16 should only be tent camping. If the parking lot at the end of the campground is full, you cannot turn a trailer around. The trail head parking at the end of the campground (sites above 16) is quite busy. Campground is poorly kept, restrooms are dirty & not stocked regularly, fire pits need cleaned out & area surrounding fire pits is not maintained.

Best way I found so far to book a camp site. Information in accurate and it saves time and gives a peace of mind that the camp site will be available.

camp site was not cleaned when we got there. didn't see/hear from host for a couple of days. site is beautiful and shady but very hot due to low elevation. VERY difficult to get trailer out as there is not a loop at the end (just a parking lot)

Whiting campground was great! It was shady and well taken care of. It’s a very popular mountain bike area. There is a hike that went though a butterfly field at the end of the campground that was so fun. This year they didn’t have drinking water available, but the camp host was very kind and even gave us a bundle of firewood

My husband has to have a Cpap machine at night. The first 2 nights was fine but the third night our battery was dead so we had to turn on our generator. It is a Honda and very quiet. The camp host told us to turn it off at 10 p.m. and he didn't care if my husband could breathe or not. Also the bathrooms stunk horribly. They need to be cleaned more often and something done about the oder. I won't go back there.
