We loved this location. It was gorgeous, and having the creek so near our site was awesome. We already want to plan another trip here! It’s not a far drive at all from where we live, which made it easy to get to with kids.

Beautiful campground. Potable water available (not to fill RV), clean pit toilets, picnic tables and fire rings. Firewood available for purchase with the kind camp host. Will stay again.

The campground was clean and we loved the trees and the sounds of the creek. It was a full campground but it still felt very peaceful. The host was so sweet and friendly. We will come back again for sur

Our stay was nice but we had spot 9 and there isn’t much shade so it got hot during the day and made it impossible to enjoy a nap. Ponderosa is close to Devil’s Kitchen as well as Salt Creek so we were able to enjoy a couple of things around there.

A nice, clean, quiet, remote campground with great hiking nearby where you will encounter NO ONE on the trail!
