A lovely camping weekend. Pretty private because the redwood trees block the view between sites and we were lucky that the neighboring sites were empty most of the weekend.

The campsite is great, but I had a poor experience…read more My group had one too many vehicles for a single campsite. 4 motorcycles and 1 car. That's fine, we were happy to abide by their policy, so our only option was to purchase another campsite for the sole purpose of parking the extra vehicle(s). We had booked for 2 nights and when we paid for the 2nd site, we unfortunately didn't notice that they only charged for one night, which apparently their policy for non-reservation sites is only one night, which they didn't tell us nor did they warn us to check out from the 2nd site by noon. We ended up getting two $71.50 parking citations for failing to remove our vehicles from the campsite by checkout time (noon). When I spoke with the staff regarding the misunderstanding and how we obviously intended to pay for 2 nights at the 2nd site, the same duration as our initial reservation, one staff member in particular had a very poor attitude even though we were being very polite and just trying to work with them and their policies.

Surprising lack of random trash so volunteers and visitors do a great job.

There are over 100 miles of trail in this park and plenty of river access, providing something for everyone.

The guests were speechless when they saw the tents and experienced the richness of each tent. Wayward Glamping provided over 10 tents for our weekend event. They did a site visit as soon as we picked a date. They worked with us on the placement of the tents - must be on level ground, how much space is needed for each tent, etc. Then, we went for it and added a larger tent to use as a "hang out" area for the weekend. Emily took over 50 calls from me (sorry Emily!). She always responded very professionally, and swiftly and had an answer for every question. We ended up renting all of her decor for the long weekend. Her crew was meticulous in setting up the tents. They have an incredible system for packing and unpacking. Each tent was stocked with hand warmers (we had a cold front), coffee set-up, wine glasses, water, make-up wipes, washbasin, pitcher, sitting area, blanket, Pendleton blanket, 4 pillows on the beds, wall decor, chargers, BlueTooth speaker, bath towels, pool towels (we paid extra for these), solar outdoor lights, rugs, and end tables. Emily gave me extra solar-powered fairy lights to help decorate the entrance to the tent village. She knew I may not have enough lighting. I am so thankful for Emily''s creative vision and for making these special tents for our guests. The only recommendation I would make is - if you can set up some "up-lighting" on the tents at night. The tents are like a blank canvas and adding some lighting on the exterior would be incredible. This is nothing Emily would provide. Highly recommend Wayward Glamping.

We had our wedding at Cuffey's Cove a month ago and offered glamping instead of a hotel block to our guests. My fiancé and I had never done glamping, let alone knew what to expect.

We and the guests who stayed were absolutely blown away - each tent had very comfortable bedding, a charging station, a nice wash station, coffee, water, and tea - the details were incredible! Furthermore, Wayward was able to make individual tent layouts with twin or queen beds so that friends, couples, and family groups were all comfortable for their stay. Thank you Wayward!

I've heard about this park a few times from fellow camping buddies. I've heard only good things…read moreand I've come to learn from a recent camping adventure to the park that the good things I heard were all valid. So there are a few campgrounds that are part of this county park. I am reviewing for the group campground, Pamplin Grove, but will mention another campground nearby that we showered at. The teardrop trailer group held their event at Pamplin Grove and to find out this was not the first time. But, it was for me and my the first time to attend the event and camp at the campground. It is a difficult entrance to notice if you are not paying close attention. Because of the natural habitat it is a challenge to locate the entrance but noticing the paved road will help guide you in. This is a beautiful spot and if you ever get a group invite to camp here, do it! It is gated so you will be given a combination to enter. As you drive in you will notice camping areas, they are not numbered. It is on a first come, first served basis. When you drive in you will find some signs/bulletin boards with info. You will eventually come to an open area, and off to the right you will see an open field which we were told is called the, Meadow. There is only one entrance and exit and that will be found towards the end of the trail. Cars can pull into the field and is open to camping there. We were told at one time that about 120 trailers attended and filled the campground! This time around, we were only 40 trailers and camping vans. There are two areas that have pit potties. The bathrooms have motion lights inside, doors with lock. It is very spacious and was always supplied with plenty of TP. Water spigots outside of bathroom to wash hands. There is a couple bathrooms next to each other on the lower part of the campground and another couple at the upper part of the campground which is also near the Camp Kitchen, Picnic area , and large fire pit. BBQ grills are need the the Camp Kitchen .There is also a BBQ pit! The kind that is underground. It was not used at this event but I heard it had been used in the past. I can't express the beauty of this spot! Oh and near by there is a short trail to get to the river. We found wild blackberries on the way to the riverbed. We could hear the birds but were difficult to find, except for the vultures. Banana slugs were also visible, pretty interesting. You should google it for more info. The yellow of the slug was vibrant. I event found one that had spots. Please be kind and leave them be. We did drive to the Swimmer's Delight campground to take showers (quarter operated). It was nice to have a warm shower with good pressure. Pamplin Grove is a non hook up (dry)campground. Also no showers. We did bring our portable shower, but when it came to washing my hair we visited the other campground for showers. There is a camp host located at the lower part of the campground. When you are in the trees it is pitch dark! Walk into the meadow at night and go star gazing. TIP - Upper bathroom you tend to get a whiff of it once in awhile if you are near the bathroom. So if you camp in the upper part you may want to keep this in mind. Also they said they try their best to keep the area poison oak free, but once in awhile you will see them, so be on the lookout where you and your pet walk. Please, Please be aware of the Loggers and people that drive this route. Especially when you are entering the campground. They follow close at high speed.
