We have camped at the Hoyer campground for many years. When our children were young and now with our grandchildren. Quiet campground with roomy sites. Water and dump station on site. If not camped there the dump station is $15.00. Clean pit toilets throughout the campground as well as showers with flush toilets (clean too, open 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM). The showers are children friendly with a shower head lower that can be turned on.

I was privileged to have the best of the best Campground host. Hats off to Kimberly, Pat, Betty and Tom. I had a great experience at this campground and a huge part of that was the outstanding campground host. From the moment I arrived, they were warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. They went out of their way to make sure I felt comfortable and had everything I needed. The host were extremely professional and clearly very knowledgeable about the area—whether it was campground details, local trails, or fishing spots, they had helpful answers and great suggestions. They were also very attentive without being intrusive, striking that perfect balance. It’s clear they take pride in what they do and it really shows in how well the campground is run and how positive the atmosphere feels. Their accommodating and courteous attitude made the entire stay enjoyable. I would absolutely come back again, and I hope to see the same host here in the future.

Hosts: Tony & Lisa - Early Sept 2025 Excellent hosts and they gave us a lot of good choices of availability. Restrooms/showers were very clean. Hosts were very receptive and always willing to lend a helping hand. This campground is beautiful and not jammed close to others. Thank you Tony and Lisa! We hope to see you next year. Cheers

This is a beautiful, Forest Service campground. There are no electric or water hookups at individual sites, but there is a clean dump station and potable water available to fill your fresh water tank. There are nicely maintained and clean pit toilets scattered throughout the campground as well as water spigots with good drinking water. The shower facilities are five star, the nicest I have come across at any public or private campground. Each one is privately accessible from outdoors, spacious, with sink, toilet, bench, and ADA accessible. They were very well maintained and clean. The 2025 Greer fire came right to the edge of the campground, but hasn't affected the campground itself.
