Spruces - Big Cottonwood

Campsite was clean.
Bathrooms were clean.
Guests and staff were respectful.
It was great!

Some hand soap in the bathrooms would be a nice touch. They charged $15 more per extra car, seemed ‘nickel dimey’.

We love this campsite for our small family of 5. We have reserved it in the past with family, and the campsite can easily fit 2 large tents with space for a smaller one, too. The parking is large and can easily fit 3 cars, maybe even a 4th. The large pine trees are great for hammocking, and we fit all 4 of our hammocks at this site if you don't mind a little sap getting on your straps. The pipe for water was broken while we were up this week, so the bathrooms were out of commission this time, but they kept the honey bucket very clean! It was not gross at all! We were very impressed by the staff and the cleanliness of the campground. This will be one we return to time and time again. The little kiddos also love the little streams right next to the campsite.

The site was great. Unfortunately bathrooms were out of order when we got there and the water was shut off.

Our site had a fallen tree across the area that would’ve been a tent site. And the table was bent over so that the surface was on an angle. We had to scramble to find a way to stay close to our family’s other camp site and it was frustrating. The fallen tree should have been removed by whomever felled it (I’m assuming the Forrest service). Or our assigned site #53 should not have been listed as an available site (the parking was not even long enough for a trailer so it’s not possible to camp in a tent or trailer).

The bathrooms are shut down and only have portable toilet .Water wasn’t consistently on. No notice beforehand. Camp ground host didn’t know what was going on or how long the problem would last. Didn’t see any work going on to resolve the issue. We pay enough in camping fees to expect a little better upkeep.

Such a wonderful campground with the best hosts. We had a quiet and peaceful weekend. The toilets are all locked but the porta potties were very clean.

We like the convenience of the Spruces. It’s close to home but still gets us up in the mountains. Nice flush toilets (except there was a problem with them while we were there and they had to bring in honey buckets). The only thing that is becoming a problem is that there is stinging nettle everywhere; big plants lining the roads. I keep hoping they’ll cut it down. It’s worse than last year.

No water was working and restrooms were locked.

Site 049 was great, very secluded and couldnt hear or see anyone from the site, and just enough space for an 8 person tent (easily could do 2-3 tents if smaller as well). Only consideration is the table/pit is about 50 yards from the car with some incline so be aware of that if u need plug access for inflatable beds n such, youll be walking a bit back n forth but still worth it! Beautiful area and farther from the road so not noisy at all.
