$45 a night for dry camping!!!!!! (That includes the $7 registration fee, AND $7 per car per night fee.) Wayyyyy overpriced. Our site was a nightmare to get into with a small 25 foot camper. The brush is way overgrown, and our site was not on an angle, so it made it hard with all the brush and trees to turn to get into. It should be ma... more

“Shower facility”

Reviewed 6/21/2023

Overall Rating

We love the park, however, we are very disappointed that this is at least two years without a shower facility. We will not book another camping site until this is remedied. Thank you.

Great small park. Beautiful hiking trails. The road is narrow making backing a trailer in a little tight.

Showers closed due to COVID. It can be unpleasant if it rains hard around there. Long dirt roads to campsites. But the trails are awesome and great location from the interstate.

Banning is located just off I35 but you would never know it; unlike other parks close to highways, we didn’t hear any road noise at all. Small campground (34 sites including one cabin, about a third with electric). Some sites (18-34 especially) offer great privacy. Clean bathrooms. Great hiking trails (although the Wolf Creek Trail bet... more
