The campground pictures do not do this place justice. The views are beautiful and the reservoir was clean and peaceful. Highly recommend Hog Park. Be warned there is no cell service but it was wonderful from our standpoint because we absolutely could not work on vacation

We love Hog Park. Glad to see a Site Host this year. He was very accommodating. They turned the water in while we were there and there was garbage service this year and hasn’t been the last few years.

Beautiful campground and area. I had come to do some astrophotography because it is remote and dark. But my experience there ... not so good. First, when I got to the CG there was someone in my site that I had reserved. Ordinarily, I would have had the CG host take care of it. But he wasn't there. So, partially because I was impatient to make camp, I set up in another space, one that was open and first-come, first-served (there were at least a dozen such open sites, an important detail for later). I flagged down the head ranger for the area, and he said what I was doing was fine. Not long after, the campground host returned (he was sick, hence his absence). His space was right next to mine. I explained what happened and where I was, and he said it was fine. Later that night, one of the mega trailer fifth-wheels on the other side of the CG decided that his playlist was everyone's playlist — and we all had to listen to his loud classic rock for a couple hours. Finally it quieted down. Then, right before sunset, the CG host came by and told me I had to tear down my camp and set up tomorrow in my reserved site (empty by tomorrow)! He said, 'These sites are for other people coming in.' (Again, there were plenty of empty sites!) I just felt that I was being inconvenienced from the word go, made to move even though someone else had taken my reserved site. Grrrrrrrrrr. It just made me feel unwelcome and unappreciated, and so next morning I tore down my camp and drove home, even though I had paid for the reserved site for two nights. I have been camping all my life and have never had that happen before! So if you can get past rude, inconsiderate fellow campers and a CG host that doesn't value you being there, this is the place for you.

It was a very cool location, but it was a little hard to get to, maps took us down the wrong way onto private gated roads and we had to ask for help. The water service was also down at the time, but overall we had lots of fun and it was a great site

Make sure to follow the recreation.gov direction and catch 550 rd 6 mi past Encampment. Don’t follow the gps, many cars won’t make it that way. Beautiful campground but there was no water, trash service or camp host Labor Day weekend. Someone took our reserved site and wouldn’t leave and there was no camp host to enforce anything.

You need 4WD to get here. It sounded great, and it probably would have been. Didn’t make it though. 4WD is a must.

Policies & Rules

General

  • All sites are first-come, first-served when not reserved
  • Limit one tent per site; see campground host for additional restrictions
  • There are no hookups or showers at this facility
  • This is a high elevation facility; please use caution when traveling from lower elevations
  • Don't Move Firewood: Prevent the spread of tree-killing organisms by obtaining firewood at or near your destination and burning it on-site. For more information visit dontmovefirewood.org.
  • Check the elements -What is in the skies? Check the weather report before you leave home. When you arrive at the site, keep on eye on the skies for changes and, if possible, carry a compact weather radio. In inclement weather, take shelter until the bad weather passes. Stay dry - wet clothes contribute to heat loss. Also, keep sleeping bags and important gear dry at all times.  -Are there forest or grassland alerts? Forest and grassland home pages post alerts you should know before you go. Many of our forests and grasslands also post alerts on Twitter. The latest fire information may be found on InciWeb.  Survey your surroundings -Arrive early. Plan your trip so that you arrive at your actual campsite with enough daylight to check over the entire site and safely set up camp.  -Check for potential hazards. Be sure to check the site thoroughly for glass, sharp objects, branches, large ant beds, poison ivy, bees, and hazardous terrain.  -Avoid areas of natural hazards. Check the contour of the land and look for potential trouble spots due to rain or snow. Areas that could flood or become extremely muddy can pose a problem.  -Inspect the site. Look for a level site with enough room to spread out all your gear. A site that has trees or shrubs on the side of prevailing winds will help block strong, unexpected gusts.  -Pitch your tent in a safe spot. Make sure your tent is made of flame-retardant fabric, and keep it a safe distance away from campfires. Keep insects out of your tent by closing the entrance quickly when entering or leaving.  -Build fires in a safe area. Your open fires and fuel-burning appliances must be far enough away from the tent to prevent ignition from sparks, flames, and heat. Never use a flame or any other heating device inside a tent. Check to know whether there are fire restrictions in place before starting a campfire. You could be fined if you start a fire in a restricted area.  Be fire safe -Keep fires small and bring firewood purchased in the local area. Firewood brought from another area could also bring invasive pests. -If you have to collect firewood at your campsite, collect dead and down wood only. -Check at the local ranger station for current fire restrictions, which can change on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis. -Use existing fire rings. Scrape away litter and any other burnable material within a 10-foot-diameter surrounding the ring. -Make sure all wood fits inside the fire ring. Do not feed a large log into the fire ring. -Have a shovel, axe, and bucket of water available before lighting your campfire. -Never leave a campfire unattended, even for a few minutes or even if there are no flames present. Many wildfires start because of abandoned fires or because someone thought a fire was out. -Put out a campfire by slowly pouring water onto the fire and stirring with a shovel. Continue adding and stirring until all material is cool to touch. -Do not bury your fire. The coals can smolder and re-ignite.  Be bear aware Being outdoors means being with wildlife. Many people never encounter a bear. But if you do, here's some simple advice: DO NOT RUN. *Remain calm. *Group together and pick up small children. *Continue to face the bear and back away slowly, talking calmly to identify yourself as a human. *If the bear continues to approach, try to scare it away by making yourself as large and imposing as possible by stretching your arms overhead and making loud noises. *Carry and know how to use bear spray, which is available at many outdoor retailers and can be used to deter a charging bear. Food Storage Bears are always searching for food. Bears are curious, intelligent animals that have great memories. Their eyesight is similar to humans and their sense of smell is seven times more powerful than a blood hound’s, enabling them to smell food from miles away. Those are the very traits that can sometimes get them – and us – into trouble. Most bears are wary of humans and try to avoid them. However, bears can learn to associate people with food and be tenacious in their pursuit of something to eat. Even if humans are around.  Everyone in bear country must do our part to store food and other attractants in bear-resistant containers at all times, and dispose of trash in bear-resistant dumpsters.
