Love this location. Pit toilet building clean, even had garbage bag inside and soap at outside spigot, but the door's handle needed to be repaired, was a little loose and could not be locked properly. A person walked in on a person in our party because of this. We are sure it will be fixed quickly.

We had a fantastic stay at the Ponderosa campground! The entire place was incredibly clean, including the pit toilets. Watch out for bushes with thorns. The nearby creek drowns out most noise. Overall a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend this campground.

Bathrooms (pit toilets) were very clean and handwashing station outside each was much appreciated. Beautiful camping setting. Very impressed.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
