It’s a good campground — but the multi-step process to read a QR code, sign-in (thank goodness I already had an account) select my campsite and then pay for it — all in a place with truly marginal cell phone service. That was horrendous, that was truly terrible.

We stayed here three nights in a row to experience October sub-alpine larch trees (which were outstanding). Klipchuck is an excellent campground, never busy midweek, with private space between campsites. Unfortunately a mouse got into my car all three nights, while I was sleeping in my car! Fortunately I had just bought a Home Depot plastic tote, all our food was inside the plastic box, so Mickey Mouse did not get anything, and left (I hope)!

Very quiet campground, not even a quarter full. Tremendously peaceful and it was a real treat to set up my tent in the mist and wake up the next morning with a full view of stunning larches on mountainsides that surround the campground.

Beautiful campground, quiet setting a mile off the highway with lots of water spigots available.
