Our host Deena is so sweet! She sent us texts before our arrival to welcome us and provide us with the weather update as a storm was brewing the day of our arrival. She was available to answer our questions when we were on site and her dog is the cutest and best co-host.We ended up misplacing a pair glasses and asked her to look around our campsite after we left and Deena was so nice to check twice for us.We definitely want to return next season and hope to see Deena again.

We loved our time at Hallstead. The campground was quiet, level and has a great balance of shade and sun, terrific if you need to set up a solar panel as we did. Manny, who is the camp host at nearby Spanish Creek, was doing double duty when we were there and kept the place spotless - came around frequently to make sure everyone was comfortable, and obeying the rules. Great guy! There is now a full time host at the campground whom we didn't meet, so be sure to check out Spanish Creek where there is a good swimming hole and say hi to Manny. You will pick up some good camping and sightseeing tips and have a few good laughs.
We loved hearing the trains and watching them at the campground and throughout the area. Even being sensitive to noise it was not a bother to us, but it is something to note if you are hoping for absolutely pristine silence.

We have camped at Hallsted during the summer for the last three years, and typically have a wonderful time. The previous campground hosts, an older couple, were friendly and kind and always made sure the reservations were handled professionally and accurately. When we returned for camping this year on July 3rd, there was a new campground host, Joe, and he was both unprofessional and honestly quite rude. He told us that the reservations had been "double-booked" and then said that as far as he was concerned, there were no reservations for federal campgrounds. We ended up only receiving one spot of the two that we booked, and felt completely uncomfortable and unwanted there the entire time we were camping. When we checked with Recreation.gov upon returning, they stated that they were unaware of any issues with double-booking. While it's still not clear exactly what happened, something fishy seems to have been going on. I hope they're able to fix the management and address whatever issue has been happening, as it is truly a gem of a camping spot and is part of our summer tradition.
