Stayed at Caspers Wilderness Park in our Airstream and had a great experience. The full hookups made our 5-day stay comfortable and easy. The park has beautiful hiking trails and a really interesting wilderness center. Nights were peaceful with coyotes howling in the distance, and we even had a fox wander through our campsite. Such a unique nature experience. We’ll definitely be back again.

Great family friendly campground with great hiking trails. Rangers drive around consistently to ensure compliance of park rules. Site #31 offers a lot of shade.

Very low key outdoor area. Multiple day camp areas, plenty of spacing and ample bathrooms. They have a wilderness center that’s good for kids - stuffed animal replicas, magnification, games, a little theatre room and little crafts. There are two campsites that are open now, make sure to ask if you need electric hook ups, one has it and the other doesn’t. It’s a $6 difference $20 and $26 for the electricity. The area without electricity seemed way more busy but not packed, and there are a lot less spots in the non electric area. Went couple of times and some cub scouts were here having a good time but our family still had plenty of space to have a good time at the park and playground.

Clean and quiet. The equestrian campgrounds seemed to be pretty much empty. Great family friendly spot that is close to amenities. My family and I had A great time.

Have no idea how this location is since it was fully booked when I arrived. It looks lovely on the maps. This one's popular enough that it needs a reservation. Also of note, it is a wilderness preserve and thus does not allow domesticated animals on site.
