Crows Nest Campground — Reviews

The staff here were very friendly and helpful, and the shared facilities were clean and well-kept. The bathrooms and porta-potty were in much better condition than I was expecting given the other reviews I read here. The biggest issue we had was with our site itself. We rented a lodging site that was supposed to be a "glamping" tent, but that name is misleading and should be changed. The tent we were renting had broken zippers and did not fully close, where the door was supposed to connect to the floor was ripped, and the netting covering the door was ripped and taped together. It was not what I was expecting giving that I was paying for a "glamping" experience. While the staff was friendly and helpful in helping us to find a solution to make sure the doors stayed shut, this is definitely something the management company should have contacted us about when they found out about it so that we could decide whether to keep our reservation or not, or to ask for a different site. Very poor communication on their end. We also had a generally bad experience trying to communicate with the campground prior to arriving because we had to go through a centralized call center for the management company rather than being able to contact the campground itself. The dog park was a nice touch that our pup really enjoyed. People were respectful about it and seemed to clean up after their dogs. We had a pretty good experience taking our pup camping here for the first time, although several of the other guests staying near us did not respect the on-leash rules at the camp sites. Two things that could be a plus or minus depending on what you're looking for: 1) the campground is very close to a town and directly next to other residences, which made the experience feel very not-remote and frequently noisy as residents nearby don't have to follow the quiet hours rules, and 2) it's family friendly and therefore was very noisy throughout the day, although for the most part people at the campgrounds followed the quiet hours. Personally, it was a bit more boisterous than I was expecting for a camping experience.

The site was small but because I went on a non weekend there was no one in the sites next to mine to be honest I was the only camper in my section. The camp store didn’t have much to offer so I had to drive to the nearest town to get the few things I forgot. All in all it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good. Just OK

We had a wonderful stay at Crow’s Nest Campground. We went for a walk on the trails and found the river below, so back to our site, put on our suits and went back to dip our feet in the water. Our dog Layla had a great time in the water. Penny at check-in was very helpful and informative. My only issue was that she asked someone on staff to help back us in to our site. He came near our site, as we were backing the trailer in and just left. Unfortunately we had to reposition the trailer 3 times before our electric and water would connect with hookups. If he had spoken with us and actually came to help we might not have had that difficulty. Otherwise, we had a very nice time. Enjoyed the fireworks, DJ and band on the 4th. We look forward to a possible stay in the future.

⭐ Crows Nest Campground – A Rare Find for Campers Who Want It All We’ve been camping for years, and it’s hard to find a place that truly checks every box on your camping wishlist. But Crows Nest Campground came close for us. Our trailer site was right by the river, the community was respectful and actually followed quiet hours, and the staff was friendly. The bathrooms were clean, and the whole place felt peaceful. But the biggest surprise was the reliable Wi‑Fi — I was able to work remotely the entire time while still enjoying nature. My boyfriend is a fly fisherman, and he loved the pond. He was out there every morning and every evening, happily doing catch‑and‑release in a quiet, beautiful spot. If I had to mention one downside, it’s that while the campground has plenty of amenities, some of them are a bit outdated. But nothing that took away from the experience. Overall, Crows Nest gave us the perfect mix of nature, comfort, and community — and we can’t wait to go back.

Our site was very spacious. They had a lot of activities and the staff were amazing! We will definitely be back.

Clean campground, nice spaces, easy check in. While the tent sites were nice and shaded, sites are definitely packed in

We provided notice that we could arrive after hours as we were traveling cross country. Welcome map was present with our spot noted. We were not aware of the seasonal status and no water at the site. Fortunately a gentleman stopped us and provided water on our way to the site. On our welcome map they wrote for us to come to the office at 10AM the next morning, as they wanted ID. We stayed till 10:30AM and no one came and we had to leave. This seemed strange as the site was paid for via the app. It was a bit pricey for just electric and dump. Could not use the dump as we had no water at the site.

A little disappointed with the slope in our site, was hard to level a 21' camper. Otherwise good...

Very clean with natural campsites that had plenty of tree coverage. There was plenty to do, including the recreation room, and the picnic tables were in excellent shape. There was also a nice walking trail that led to the river and nice big rocks to relax on (swimming allowed in the warmer weather along with a pool). Although we do not have children, there was a nice playground and a fountain pond with fishing. The dog park was also a nice feature with bags supplied. The campground was pretty full and everyone was really good about the enforced rules. Great experience for our first time and we will be back again.

I don’t like to make bad reviews but have to state this was the worst campground I have stayed at all summer. We stayed at site 110 right next to a seasonal old motorhome that must have had a black tank leak. All we spelt was sewer! The sites were on top of each other. Also the water pressure was awful. We even had a hard time washing dishes. One compliment the playground was very well maintained! And the rec hall looked very nice. Even though we did not have kids.

Great place definitely worth it!!

Didn’t feel safe putting our 30’ camper in the space with an extremely steep incline. No one was there, sent multiple emails after leaving and never received a response, much less a refund. Extremely disappointing experience. Zero customer service.

The park is pretty worn compared to the photos on Camp spot. They charge for showers in one bath house. I will say there was not trash about the area. Could be a real gem with some TLC.

Fire wood sold at the store was soaked through. Wi-Fi down by the river is useless. There’s a porta potty for the river campers to use which is absolutely disgusting. $80.00 is way too much for this place. The campground is in desperate need of an update.

The staff were very helpful and the sites down by the water were beautiful.

Very accommodating staff. Very friendly! We stayed in the “back” area of the campground and it was wonderful!
