The host was non existent and didn’t keep up with the reservations. One of our spots that we reserved for 3 consecutive nights was occupied.

Great relatively out of the way campground! Clean restroom facilities, ample space to stretch out and enjoy the howls of the coyotes nearby. Note that trash must be hauled out, leave no trace.

High altitude, lots of shade, and Porcupine Creek runs next to it. Campground is very quite. What is not to like about Porcupine Campground.
