This campsite is in full shade with water and a vault toilet on site. Eckert, the camp host was amazing. Very friendly, accommodating, helpful and did a great job of keeping the restrooms in tip top shape. There are a few things I am shocked that no one has mentioned in previous reviews. First, this campsite will not hold anywhere near the number of people advertised. We also rented site 001, the other group site, and it also will not hold the number of people advertised, nor does it have parking for that number of people. But at least site 001 is on flat ground. Site 012 is entirely on a slope. So if you want to set up your chairs around the fire pit, you are either leaning backwards, down the hill away from the fire, or leaning toward the fire. We had a pretty good sized family group, with a lot of toddlers. And the little kids were always tripping and falling all over the place because the campground is on a slope and it was just awkward for them. There are a good number of picnic tables that are pretty level, and you can manage to find a few tent spots that are mostly level. There is quite a long parking area that would fit maybe three to five camp trailers, but the entire parking area is also on a slope. So unless you bring enough lumber to build a house, you're not going to have the material needed to level your trailer adequately. There's a small parking area at the base of the campsite for extra parking, but absolutely not enough to accommodate the cars of the number of people this campsite is advertised to hold. If our family reunion group had more than four camp trailers, we really would have been in a bad situation because there would have been nowhere for them to park close to the campsite. In a beautiful area, with lots of trees, but I would not book this site for a family reunion again, unless most of the people were in tents and we had a much smaller group than it is advertised to hold

Beautiful campground! Host was excellent: helpful, accommodating, and generous. We saw the ice caves, went to Minnetonka Cave, and spent a day on Bear Lake. Had a couple cold nights and the mosquitoes were pretty bad the first couple days (due to rain?), but even with that, we had a pretty perfect trip! Thank you!

The Paris Springs Campground was beautiful and quiet. All sites there were reservation only in late June, 2021. The individual sites have access to the Paris Springs creek but the group sites do not. Individual sites were flat and could accommodate tents, but not trailers over 28'. It was a short, easy hike to the springs area and even the young children liked the hike. Group sites 1 and 2 did not have good shade or privacy but had good parking. The bathrooms were kept clean and there is a host on site. While we were there the mosquitos were voracious and even bit through our clothing-bring lots of repellant and wear hats! The faucet water in the campground is from the spring and the Forest Service does not test it. We took our own drinking water.

We had a family reunion with 30+ people and we very much enjoyed our stay and the camp hosts we're very accommodating! Highly recommend this camp sight!
