Hog Park Campground

I have loved coming here since I was 6. I am now 52. Will the water be fixed soon? Not having drinking water was hard. Especially since we had no notice that the pumps were going to be lock. I did not bring up drinking water because it has always been there in the past. Please make sure to update the website that the drinking water is not available until it is fixed.

Water was beautiful. Campground awful. First, our site had no picnic table but all others did. Many people had reserved spots where other campers were staying and the camp host was nowhere to be found all weekend. Not there at all. The water was shut off and locked. All trash receptacles locked. It would have been better if the host was there as many campers had questions about their spots and why the ones they paid for and reserved were occupied by others. We had to move sites and the overall experience was bad. We would not recommend this area or ever go back.

Nice restrooms. Great boat dock.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

The campground is basic and dusty. tall weeds and unkempt the road into it is 17 mi of horrible washboard

Just a wonderful place - not overly crowded - felt clean, endless water fun, etc.
