About this campground
What campers say
La Siesta Campgrounds is frequently praised for its friendly, hands‑on host and well‑kept, tranquil setting with mountain views and a small pond with a fountain. Guests value the clean, secure grounds, on-site rental trailers and tent options, and a welcoming clubhouse that offers morning coffee and occasional receptions. The site suits short stays, longer visits, and outdoor activities (including hunting and nearby riding routes). It’s affordable and community-oriented, though the campground is intentionally rustic rather than a full‑service resort — a tradeoff appreciated by those seeking quiet and simplicity over luxury amenities.
