Simpson Springs Campground is praised for its beautiful vistas, cleanliness, and convenient facilities, making it a great spot for groups and stargazing. The pavilion is well-equipped and offers shelter from the sun, though visitors should be prepared for windy conditions. However, issues like reserved sites being occupied, occasional maintenance concerns, and disturbances from noisy campers can detract from the experience.

This was a great, secluded campground. There are scorpions so watch for that. Number 1 spot was the best for the shade, but is not close to the restrooms. The rest of the spots do not have shade so plan accordingly. They have tent spots but they are gravel and it is hard to get your tent stakes to go in the ground and stay. It is a 24 mi drive out on a gravel road and that’s what takes the longest to get there.

On Thursday a group of families moved in and set up camp and then proceeded to let their group of 10 to 12 year old sons run loose throughout the campground. Those families apparently didn't care that their kids were bothering the rest of the campers. I came back Friday afternoon and found that the families with the disruptive kids had torn down their camp and left. Either they were asked to leave by other campers or even the families could no longer stand their own kids. It was not a pleasant experience having disruptive kids running loose throughout the campground. I know there isn't a campground host but in this case it surely would have helped.

The site itself isn’t bad but it was a HUGE mistake going here in the heat of the summer as a minimalist camper. That’s on me. If you have an RV or a shade/cooling setup, go wild. My son and I spent all day chasing shade and chugging water until the sun went down because there are no covered rec areas here. But on the flip side, the view of the stars at night was AMAZING! Don’t be like me; research the weather and the area and plan according to your means.
