This campground has really gone downhill the last couple of years. Both this year and last year, the water wasn't drinkable and we had to send someone down the canyon to buy some. There was also a ton of debris and fallen trees that haven't been taken care of, which took up most of our campsite so that there was only one possible tent spot, right next to a very stinky bathroom. We were told by the camp host that we could move some of the debris ourselves to have more room for our campsite, or we could ask the people in the campsite next to us if they minded if we took some of their open space. Luckily our neighbors were charitable, otherwise we would have been squished in a very small space. It also seems like the fees have gone up and only one car is covered by the nightly fee, so for two nights and two cars it was $80, to not even have clean water or enough space for 6 people to camp. Where are my fees going if not to maintain the campsite?? Needless to say, after years of camping at Balsam, I likely will not be returning anytime soon.

I went to Balsam campground for one night for a Mother/Son campout (I'm the mom) with my two adult sons. It was excellent! The signs made it easy to find, our campsite had my name on the reservation, and the campsite was a beautiful spot - surrounded by trees and bushes. Our campsite was clean when I arrived. Shortly after I arrived, the camp host drove by to welcome me and make sure everything was okay, which she did several times during our overnight visit. The port-a-potty was clean and actually didn't smell too bad at all (as far as port-a-potties go). There was a grass area beside our site where we played corn hole and shook out our tents the next morning (it had rained a lot). CAMP SITE 5 is great! The grassy area beside us was a nice place to play. There is a water spigot close by, and the bathroom is right next to the site. It is secluded with trees (even from the top which helped when it rained). The area for tents isn't too big, so don't plan on bringing too many big tents, but it did fit our three small tents just fine. We found wood easily by walking not too far. The walk around the campground is nice. There are fun places to walk around with tree limbs to walk on and a river to see. The next morning we went on a short hike that we drove to, not too far, WADSWORTH TRAIL. It is an absolute beautiful hike, not steep at all - just a walk along a trail where you see beautiful small waterfalls, trees, little brooks, etc. At first, I thought Balsam was a little too far up the canyon to drive to, but it is definitely worth the drive. I came home and told my husband that our whole family should camp there sometime. It's a wonderful place to camp!

Beautiful, quiet campground. Lots of trees and shade.

Be aware that site #4 is shady but downside is right next to vault toilet, high traffic area and group site. Very noisy, so if peace and quiet is what you are after, this isn’t it. It is pretty though.
