My wife and I stay at PiPi every year. And it gets better and better each time. Its always a great experience and adventure.This year we were able to venture out in the forest and find new swimming holes and fishing spots. Mike (camp host) and his Crew do an exceptional job of keeping things maintained around the Campsite. (Considering the workload they all have). Thank you Mike and Crew once again for a great 2024 camping experience! See you all next year:)

First off I have been coming here for the past 15 years and this place never fails to me me happy. There are beautiful places to hike, fish, swim and jump off of rocks. There was a time that people were not picking up garbage. I think this was during covid. This year we had an amazing camphost, Lizzy. She helped address any concerns that we had. I was very surprised by how awesome she was as most camphost that we have had in the past did not really interact with the guests there. Put your cellphones on airplane mode. There is no service there. Perfect way to disconnect.

if you walk a ways you'll be in the burn from the Caldor Fire. IF you stay in camp, its untouched. Apparently Pipi was the camp for the fire crew who courageously defended our forests!

This is my favorite campsite. What I would like is to be able to buy a personalized board on the boardwalk. Please let me know how I can do this.

We have come here for the last 3 years and will continue in the upcoming years. This is the most beautiful location, with lots of shaded and clean campsites, a boardwalk that goes alongside the river and swimming in the river is a must. Very family friendly. The hosts Varb and Mike were fantastic and very helpful. See you again next year!

My family and I have been coming to this campground for over 20 plus years. We stayed in camp sites 16 & 17 which are by far the best sites in the whole campgrounds. This was our first trip back after over 8 years and it was amazing. Barbara was wonderful and checked in on us daily and provided us excellent service. With the COVID 19 going on the workers made sure the bathrooms were disinfected hourly/daily which helped us feel comfort and a sense of safety/care. Barbara and her team really went above and beyond for my family. We loved this campground before the COVID and loved it even more after all of the extra precautions that they took to provide us a safe and clean environment. We will be back again next year. Definitely recommend coming to this campground.

We arrived late in the camping season. We pretty much had the campground to ourselves during the second week of October. The weather was great, the birds and trees were amazing. The campground is a bit to get to but its not bad. We had my daughter and her family come up and visit and we had a great time. The fishing was nice for smaller size rainbow trout. Not good size to eat but good size to catch on the fly rod. The campground hosts that we met were extremely nice, they were doing some work to the fishing platforms and replacing some worn out sections. We would love to go back soon. We stayed at site 17? it was the double campground. The only negative about this place is the lack of being able to use our solar panels, so we had to resort to firing up the generators. Ohh well, so much for using the crock pot :)
