What campers say

North Canyon Campground sits on the shores of Vallecito Lake and is consistently praised for clean restrooms and well-maintained sites. Friendly camp hosts keep the area tidy, and several reviews note reliable cell service and convenient water spigots. Sites offer excellent lake views and a mix of sun and shade, though the layout can feel close together; trails to the shoreline and nearby campgrounds mean occasional foot traffic. There are no RV hookups reported, and larger groups can produce noise. Overall it’s a scenic, well-kept spot for tent or car camping if proximity and passersby aren’t a concern.
