We always enjoy our time in this beautiful rustic camp ground! The only suggestion we have is to perhaps add a dish washing station to the right of the potable water access, similar to a fish cleaning station. That way people can get water without having to wait for the dishwashing to finish.

Although there are no hookups, Backbone Rock is an excellent campground. It is next to a great trout stream. I caught two nice trout while there. There is also great hiking--Backbone Rock, Backbone Rock Waterfall, and miles of trail above Backbone Rock. Damascus is just a short drive away if you want to go out for a bite to eat.

A beautiful campsite for beginners or seasoned campers. Would recommend staying by the bathroom to be near the recreation area, trash, and exit. Recommend staying at the opposite end of the bathroom if you want trails, privacy, and more nature. Campground has a gorgeous woodsy setting with the road visible behind, but traffic is light on the noise. Facilities are clean with flushable toilets, and running sink water. Each campsite is spacious in its own way and has easy access to a trail or river, and is within 5 minutes walking of Backbone Rock Trail. Hosts are gracious, friendly and make the campground a welcoming environment. Campsites are clean, easy to drive on in wet or dry conditions, and had no real issues with bugs or flooding with a tent in rainy weather. We highly recommend.

The new hosts made this visit our best stay yet -- and this was our 4th time here. They obviously went above & beyond the call of duty; for example: every morning the bathrooms were as clean as could be, the gravel walkways were freshly raked, our gravel pad was freshly raked and our fire pit was cleaned out upon arrival, I saw them helping another camper by delivering firewood to them, etc.
