What a great campground!! We were looking to head north to close out our summer camping festivities…read moreand stumbled upon Tolsona Wilderness Campground online.
It's a rather large campground with water and electric at many sites, along with a single dump station in the common area. Every site is along the River, which is fabulous too. In all reality, I don't think there are any bad spots, but we liked ours, which was away from the common areas. While we loved seeing all the kids playing on the playground and the creek, we were there for the peace & quiet.
We appreciated being able to book online. The map showed us spots where our rig would fit and that was helpful, although we weren't able to fit in the spot requested after all. I walked to the office to see about another site and they were very accommodating. Turns out my husband saw a site that would be perfect and not only was it available, it was indeed perfect!!! We took note of the spot number and will definitely be requesting that spot again.
In the common area, there is the office, which has snacks and campground memorabilia, there is a coffee shack with snacks, playground and picnic are. They also rent float tubes for the creek. While there is limited WiFi, there is no cell service and the WiFi doesn't reach the majority of the grounds. If you must have reception, I highly recommend you bring your Starlink.
They do a family theme every weekend apparently... which we were unaware of. It was a little odd when we saw campsites with Halloween decorations in August followed by children in costumes coming to our site to trick or treat. We didn't love strangers strolling through our campsite as we were trying to decompress for the weekend and ended up feeling obligated to share our weekend treats, which selfishly was annoying, but at the same time, adorable to see the grateful children's faces light up!
We'll definitely be back... next time I'll check their calendar to see what the festivities are if we don't want to partake, I'll figure out some way to make notice of that at our site.
