McCully Heritage Project pond site
Camping with my lady and our dog!
Our campsite at the pond location was incredible, luckily we were the only campers there for the weekend so it was nice and quiet. It’s easy to find from the main road, has clean and easy to get to bathrooms / services etc. the trails are all super long so you could hike forever! We will definitely be returning and recommending to friends/ family!

Camping and hiking
Great spot to camp with fantastic restrooms. We hiked the North trails for about an hour. Our site had a fire circle along with a grill top.

McCully Heritage Project Levee
Beautiful nature camping
Easy stay! The owners that run the campsite are very fast at responding to same day questions and giving directions to the campsite. Free firewood as a part of the price of the stay was super awesome to add to the experience. Very well kept trails. Don’t go in late fall however to avoid trail closure due to hunting. Beautiful trails to the north (the trails not being used for hunting). Amazing views on these trails. A lot of activity at night (owls hooting, leaves crumpling, coyotes howling) but it is subjective to whether it ruins your stay. In a way, all those sounds just make you remember that you are really out in nature and also adds to your experience.

Site 3 - McCully Heritage Project
This was a really special spot. The camp sites are spacious and I loved that ours was sort of tucked away. The paths and trails were lovely. The bathrooms were a real bonus - there were plenty of them, they were clean and easy to access and heated - which was great on a chilly morning.
Can’t wait to go back!

McCully Heritage Project pond site
Our campsite was well maintained and the pond was a beautiful view for our weekend getaway. Keep in mind the Levee camp site is much closer to the Pond camp site than what the map portrays, so this spot is not as secluded as we thought. It was peaceful and quiet though and luckily no one was staying at the Levee site so we had a little more privacy.
