The season was just closing so the campground was quiet.

Super clean bathrooms, well maintained, and on-site supervision. Nice hikes nearby and in the mountains. We'll be back.

We were well cared for. Thank you for providing the campground, and maintaining it so well. The restrooms were clean. The campgrounds were a bit dusty -- I assume that is from the weather conditions and high usage. If there were more campgrounds available, I would like to know of their location. Thank you.

The camp host was great. We went at the end of July so it was a bit dusty but we overlooked that for all the good huckleberries we found. The latrines were clean, garbage was picked up. It was our first time at Peterson Prairie and we will be back!

We have camped at Peterson Prairie many times over the years and like its location near to Mt. Adams and other hiking areas. One area the could be improved it the number of toilets. more would be an improvement. The campground hosts have always been helpful and friendly.

{"text"=>"Mt Adam’s was a great hike. The road up to the trailhead is a little sketchy but a fun drive up if you’re into the thrill. Lunch Counter is a great spot to camp and has good access the the trail up to the peak. Overall great experience!", "languageCode"=>"en"}
