My four friends and I tent and hammock camped at Blue Heron after a river camping trip. The site was well kept and bathhouse was clean. Its a nice, peaceful campground without the crowds of larger campgrounds. Excellent for car camping or motorcycle camping.

Our site #26 was a little shorter than expected and off level by 3". Being experienced campers we took care of it and enjoyed our stay. Not much campground literature was available. We found that there are great vistas to see and nearby activities so we will return soon.

Stayed a week at this campground in October, 2020. It was crowded on the weekend but not at all during the week. Even when full, the campground didn't feel overcrowded. The sites are rather large though the driveways tend to be on the shorter side. It is close to Blue Heron mining camp and to the Big South Fork Scenic Railway, which was a very enjoyable trip, even though it only goes as far as Barthell mining camp this season due to a slide on the tracks. There is also great hiking nearby. Will likely return next year.
