Sparta Campground

"No one greeted us. Some looked liked permanent residents so didn’t know where to get help. NO HOT WATER IN MENS OR WOMANS!!!!!! We left the next day it was so aweful."

"Fun & welcoming place. Reasonable price, clean restrooms, hot showers, weekend entertainment, quiet shady rv site w/electric, but no water. Water onsite & dump station. Made some great friends & had a great time. We will definitely return."

"I’ll give it one star for the illusion of nature and the nice woman that greeted me to make sure I wasn’t parking for free. Let’s be clear this s is not a campground or travelers park. The people here live here. Just wanted a safe place to park and sleep in my camper van and have a shower. First bad experience: they have push button water in the shower to limit shower times. Fine. You cannot adjust the temperature. It is scalding. Just what you want the hot of summer. Ridiculous and and cheap. Second: there are train tracks hidden by trees. So I’ve been woken by trains twice tonight. The second time being 2:45am- this has fueled this review Thirdly: one pays $35 for and rv site and an additional $4 for the the grounds? Why? Final thoughts If you want a natural campground, why? Unless you’re living here dont bother. you’ll be woke by trains all night and burnt by the showers when you try to bathe"

"Very rustic, basic campground, but that is sort of reflected in the lower price. There are water spigots and a rudimentary dump station near the shower house but no water or sewer at the sites. Creekside sites are grass only, but shaded and reasonably level. Sites up on the hill are graveled but level-ness varies and they have no shade. Cell service is nonexistent at the creekside sites and sketchy on the hill. My digital TV antenna would only pull in 4 channels, all KET educational stations. Feels like you're in the middle of nowhere, but a railroad crossing is about 150 yards away with trains sounding horns like 10 times a night at all hours. Showers have a timed valve that gives you about 20 seconds of water and then shuts off; takes 4 or 5 cycles to get warm water. There's no office or management on-site-- the person who answers the park phone contacts the manager who lives 5-10 minutes away. Having said all that, it is a rather pretty, rural location, and the sound of the creek babbling and the birds chirping while the breeze gently stirs the leaves on the trees is quite pleasant, in between trains... I was there during an off-peak period, but there is what looks like a small stage up on the hill, and others' photos seem to indicate they may have some entertainment and/or activities during busy times."

"A well maintained quiet campground. The process follows - drive straight in, staying to the right, and go by the bath house to fill your fresh water tank with potable water. Find your numbered site and plug in to power your trailer's water pump and lights. Enjoy. The sites going off to the right of the bath house are grassy and excellent for tent camping. The other sites are smoothed rock sites. 177 sites total - with 2 showers, 2 toilets, & 2 sinks for ladies, and 2 showers, 1 toilet, 1 urinal, & 2 sinks for men. There is also a dump station for the RV's. The only thing that was a nuisance was the train horns at different times through the night - which is something that the campground has no control over. Texts to the contact number were answered promptly. No on-site office and access is unrestricted."
