Findley Campground

Very nice campsite in the trees. Very peaceful. My only complaint is the booking system did not seem to indicate there were other campgrounds a little closer to the lake.

Beautiful area, great swimming and kayaking. The road in the camp is really bad, with tree roots making huge speed bumps, so be careful. I wish the camp was closer to the water - you have to drive.

Peaceful, pretty, but do yourself a favor and bring a roll of toilet paper. No one checked the bathroom facilities the 3 days I spent there and TP ran out on 1st day.

My reserved campsite number 4 was taken by someone else. There was no one around to resolve the issue. I had to camp on the side of the road, not in the campsite I paid for.

Great, remote campgrounds without crowds

No water supply. USFS should take over management from NID.

Reserved spot #3 which is a shared parking pad with #2. There are no spots for a tent and the fire pit is also shared. None of this is disclosed. Pictures should be posted of each spot as the site supports it but it’s not done. Sadly, the campground is not maintained well from what it sounds like early retirement opted by numerous forest serviceman in that area.

Great location - its close to many lakes that you can drive to. Clean bathroom

We have been going there for 50 years, and it is always beautiful! This year we, and our family, were the only ones theres for the first 3 days! It was amazing! One thing that is bothersome, the online campground map is wrong. We should remember each year, but we don't. The map shows space 10, Findley, is on the outside of the loop. It is on the inside, has the picnic table on the other side of most doors, and won't accommodate trailers over 23 ft.

In the past few years we have been camping at Findley was always an excellent experience except this time. The site wasn't clean, trash scattered around the vicinity of the campsite. We really like the flush toilets, however no toilet paper was available at times. For a site worth $28, it should at least be clean!

Great campground with very clean bathrooms. We'll definitely be back! A few call outs: - Some sites are quite small realistically only fitting one tent and are very close to each other (i.e don't book 4 or 5 unless you're booking both for a group). - At the moment, the camp map is inaccurate, site 9 is where 10 is, 10 is where 11 is, 11 is where 12 is and 12 is technically missing but is just before where 13 is marked. - Best spot seemed to be site 13 which was larger/slightly more private. - A lot of folks come out to this area to do off roading so there is some noise from off roading vehicles. - One review said this site is not walking distance from the lake which is not true. It's about a 5 min walk to the Woodcamp Day Use site which has a handful of picnic tables, easy lake access, potable water and pit toilets.

Lovely area, Jackson Meadows reservoir is .2 miles away from the campsite. We rented 1 single kayak and 1 canoe. My 15 year old caught a rainbow trout fishing from the kayak. The campsite was a little small, but will still managed to get 2 tents up. Had the standard bear box and picnic table. Water was not far from the campsite. The water pressure from the spout was super high- kind of blasted our dishes when we were cleaning up. We took our minivan there, which wasn't a problem, but I would say most people there had cars with larger tires/ more SUVs and trucks as there are dirt/rocky roads that are more easily navigated with something more robust than a minivan. The campsite had a bathroom, which was fine. No showers. Lots of wildlife- chipmunks were everywhere, and it was remote enough that I thought we might see a bear. The nearby 1 mile interpretive hiking trail was in need of maintenance. If we go next time, I'd like to check out the PCT nearby.

Great campground. Most sites are very spaced out and not right on top of each other. Flush toilets, water, a dumpster and bear boxes are provided which was great. My one complaint is that the map on the website was not accurate. We booked campsite #10 which on the map is showing where #11 is. There was no camp host but we had no issues. It is not by the lake so you can't walk to the lake but we mostly explored other areas like Faucherie Lake etc. No 4x4 needed to access the campground which I saw some other guests mention in other online reviews.

Most of the sites were adequately spaced, all of them we're clean, and the bathrooms were neat and clean. We stayed in No. 9. It was a nice site, though there was only one level tent pad (we had our 20' trailer but I noticed the limited level spots for tents in No. 9). When coming from the East, the last mile-or-so to the campground is rough for travel trailers, but reducing my speed addressed my concerns. Coming from the West (i.e. Bowman Lake) is much rougher and challenging, especially for lower clearance vehicles, vehicles with highway tires, and vehicles pulling trailers. I recommend coming from the East unless you have a high clearance vehicle and all terrain tires (but NOT towing a trailer or driving an RV). If you have a trailer or RV, coming from the East would be significantly less risky.

The layers on the map were off at the time I reserved two of the camp sites. Because if this, it appeared as though the sites were closer to the water, ...when in actually, they weren’t. I understand that it was a mishap/glitch, because a week later, the layers were correct. We still had a great time.

For the past 2 years we have booked at least half of the campground for a family birthday gathering. We have been going to Jackson Meadows since 1968, but restrictions for off road vehicles on the east side of the lake have sent us to Findley, where we can ride right out to the spectacular sights of Faucherie, Bowman, and even to Washington for lunch. The bathrooms are kept clean and the hosts leave you alone as you basically follow established rules.

We had a great weekend at Findley camp. Our camp site was perfect for our 2 tents, and the facilities were well kept. The lake is beautiful and would be great for kayaking (we didn’t bring our kayaks).
