What Guests Are Saying

Lower Falls Campground offers spacious, shaded campsites that provide a sense of privacy and are well-maintained. Campers appreciate the close proximity to the stunning Lower Falls and numerous hiking trails, contributing to a peaceful and scenic experience. However, some improvements are needed, such as additional water stations and better restroom facilities, as well as addressing overcrowding during peak times.

Should have read about amenities more. No provided water that we could find. Road in requires slower speeds...maps is correct when it say 20 miles takes 45 minutes. Download a return trip from Google maps also...no service to get a return map....great place...beautiful scenery. Worth the drive. Take everything you need. No services for an hour.

It was very nice staying. For people who wants to go I recommend book before you go there because you will probably don't find anyone to check you in. That what I did.

Amazing!!!! Falls and the surrounding hiking area is definitely a must see!!
We were at site 7 on the lower loop and didn’t expect to be camped basically right on top of the falls! It’s like a 2-3 minute hike to the lookout area.
The sites are well wooded although not super private and we saw a lot of RVs, so they’re spacious as well.
As of end of may, 22 - There is no potable water - pump on lower loop is Out of Order and the upper loop pump water was yucky.
The bathrooms near us weren’t bad but the campground was mostly empty. They did run out of TP the day before we left, we were there Tue-Fri right before Memorial Day.
The last few miles of the road up is a bit rough so be prepared for a lot of dips and potholes.

Overall an amazing area, great campsite and a really scenic drive!
Enjoy!

Beautiful campground. We dry camped in site 8 in 5th wheel travel trailer and it appeared most sites were large enough to accommodate.

This is a very nice remote campground on a beautiful river with many fantastic waterfalls within a short hike. The campground has no services other than the vault toilet (no running water). Potable water is available at a hand-pumped well.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

Check out time

1PM

  • Bring your reservation confirmation to the campground.
  • The campground opens in mid-May.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
