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.

Need to have a way to purchase same day reservations. Some people don't carry cash very often now.
Women's bathrooms had no paper and the men's was very low. Luckily I was the only person there.

View is beautiful and restrooms are clean. No camp host on site to enforce reservations.

Campsites are primitive and bathrooms are not well maintained. We had a trailer site which was very unlevel, and was impossible to level the trailer. Access to the horses was amazing.

Campground was great. Only issue we had was very very low water pressure at the spigot near our site. It just dripped out. Otherwise it was fantastic.

There is no camp host, so the sites are not marked as reserved. When we arrived, there was a group in our reserved spot. We told them and they moved, but they moved to another reservable spot. Although there were plenty of first come spots open. We had a group of 10 campers in 5 different spots, with tents, and it was hard to find a spot that was level. The vault toilets were clean and were stocked with lots of toilet paper. Sheep came close to our camp in the evening, and the herding dog came to visit up close. He was very friendly, and stayed a couple of hours. The campers that were in our spot, were scouts, and only stayed the first night, and left all of their garbage in the fire ring. A couple in our group ended up taking the garbage with them to dispose of. Overall a great campsite, might be better with a camp host.
