What campers say

Box Elder Campground is a small, well‑treed site with mostly private, shaded spots and a few creek‑side sites that are popular. Hosts are consistently described as friendly and helpful, and the bathrooms are generally kept clean though a recent arson/vandalism incident led to port‑a‑potties while repairs were made. Sites tend to be compact; some are deep and level while others sit close to neighbors, so it’s best for solo campers, couples, or small groups rather than large rigs. There are no utility hookups, and the nightly fee may feel high to some. Nearby lake and trail access make it convenient for short outdoor outings.
