Tremendous Host
We absolutely loved everything about camping at the Austin Dam and hope to return every year! Alvy was a tremendous host, especially being a volunteer! He had many recommendations, wonderful knowledge of the area and its history, and answered all of our questions. We had everything we needed at the campsite, plenty of space and privacy, and the wood we purchased prior to arrival was more than enough for us! Alvy was very accommodating when we booked an extra night since we got in later than we were expecting the first night. Swimming at one of the spots Alvy recommended was our favorite part (aside from getting engaged while we were there!) even though the water was probably around 50°! We hope to see the memorial and the campsites stay up and running!

Will Be Back!
We had a great time at this camp! The site is huge with tons of space for families to spend out. The creek was fabulous to wade in. The main road above the valley was louder than we expected but it wasn't terrible. The portapotty near our site was spotless. Highly recommend!

Beautiful site right on a creek. Host was so nice, stopped by to check on us, firewood delivery was so convenient!
Unfortunately for us, there was a festival going on at the Dam that day/night that we were unaware of, so there was a lot of traffic on the gravel road right next to our site. The traffic really took away from the peaceful tranquility that we were looking for.
That being said, we will definitely be back, but will check to make sure nothing is going on at the Dam next time!

Log Scaler (Site 5)
Relax by the Stream
We had a fantastic camping trip at Log Scaler (site 5)! There was tons of space for our group to spread out and relax. The highlight for the kids was definitely the stream right next to our campsite - they played there all day long.
The location was ideal - close enough to explore the historic Austin Dam, but still feeling secluded in nature. We took advantage of the pre-purchased firewood, which was a great deal and saved us time setting up. Speaking of convenience, the pre-purchased porta-potty was clean and unused, which was a huge plus!
An added bonus - we went in mid-July and to our surprise, none of us in our group came across a single tick! Overall, a perfect spot for a fun and relaxing family camping trip.
