TRAVELER campground for you!”
• “Only $20 per night. Clean bathrooms and five dollar bags of fire wood. You can’t beat that. If you run out of propane, or in need of groceries, it’s just a 20 minute drive to the nearest store.”
• Three stars for the camping, but five stars for the helpful rangers and beautiful park and trails.”
• At Ortega Flats Campsite, we had a huge site with plenty of trees for shade. The site had a picnic table, bbq grill, and a fire pit with an attached grill. Watch out for stinging nettle!”
• “Got greatest experience here with family and friends. I spent two nights and ½ day. The first night was awesome. We had the fire pit going and s’mores were yummy. When it was bedtime, it was kind of scary. You could hear howling at night. I really worried about some animals coming down to our place. But I knew everything was going to be okay. The next morning we awoke to a morning hike. I think that was the best part. Yes, it was a long hike, but I really enjoyed the beautiful views.”
• “Ortega has porta potties, but the sites further back have brick and mortar bathrooms. Our first impression on our being greeted by the park rangers at the entrance was that they might be the nicest, most helpful people I’ve ever met at a park.” Who do I contact for more information?
