What campers say

Malad Summit Campground is a small, well-kept, wooded site of roughly a dozen campsites tucked beside a creek. Visitors consistently praise clean vaulted restrooms, attentive camp hosts, peaceful surroundings, nearby hikes and a waterfall, and good fishing. Sites vary in size and levelness, and some are best for tents or small rigs—larger RVs and trailers face a narrow access road and tight turnaround, and water spigots aren’t convenient for trailer filling. Some sites are reservable while others are first-come, so plan ahead. Overall it’s a quiet, scenic spot with practical tradeoffs for big rigs.
