Peaks Of Otter Campground

"Camp sites are spacious and spread out relatively well for privacy. The picnic tables are nice and sturdy and the fire pits have a grill. Bathrooms were well maintained, kept stocked with toilet paper, soap, and paper towels. We did need to walk through another campsite to get to the trail for the bathroom. We stayed on the outer ring, to avoid that possibility."

"This is a beautiful place. The ranger was so helpful. There are only a couple of spots that could fit our 39ft 5th wheel. No water or electric on site. Potable water and dump station available. No cell service but who needs that with such a great view. Lots of trees so our StarLink could not connect, but again who cares. We stayed 3 nights."

"Sometimes a memory is better left a memory. We camped here about 26 years ago. We wanted to go back for another memory, we will remember this stay. Extremely small campsite and it wasn’t level at all. The ranger was awesome that checked us in. Peaks of Otter is a great backwoods campground. It is not for everyone."

"This is primitive car camping. If you don't know what that means, "car camping" means you have your own parking spot, very close to the place where you will put your tent (most of these sites have a small up or small down to traverse to get to the site, with a few rough stairs). 'Primitive" means that there is no electricity or water anywhere near your site. You will not be able to charge your phone. It also means that you should be prepared for very limited bathrooms/bathhouses (in this case, sporadically placed bathrooms with flush toilets and sinks). If primitive car camping is what you want, I highly recommend this campground. Most of the sites are roomy and shaded. Lots of birds! Quiet! There are both reserveable and first-come-first-served sites. Loop A is closer to the road, and the sites aren't as nice, but it is also generator free. The sites in Loop B are nicer, but presumably someone camping next to you could use a noisy generator. A number of hiking trails are available within a reasonable driving distance. There are bears. Be prepared to closely follow protocol. Bear boxes are scattered throughout the grounds. Good plan: Camp here. Hike the next day. Go to the local YMCA and pay a few bucks for a shower. Camp for night 2. Continue your trip."

"First time camping here. Sites seemed well-maintained and well-spaced. Good selection of both RV and tent sites, with 3 separate loops of sites that all cost $20 per night. No water or electrical hookups, but there are restroom facilities spread throughout the campground that are in good shape, though they offer no exterior or interior lighting. There is a store within easy walking distance, as well as a visitor center, lodge/restaurant and a range of hiking trails, ranging from easy to difficult. The campground was quiet and dark after around 10 p.m. Made for a relaxing time around the campfire. Keep an eye and ear out for bears - they are very active in and around this campground, according to the rangers. Would definitely return here."
