McGill Campground

First time camping at this location and was pleasantly surprised. Campsites are well maintained. Camping staff was great. We went from Friday to Sunday and it was relatively quiet. It was a little windy at night, but very refreshing. The other surprise was there were no mosquitoes. The family definitely wants to go back. They have quite a few campgrounds to choose from.

We went from Friday to Sunday and it was relatively quiet. It was a little windy at night, but very refreshing. The other surprise was there were no mosquitoes. The family definitely wants to go back. They have quite a few campgrounds to choose from. Some sites appear to be more for pop-ups. Highly recommend.

Our experience at McGill Campground in Frazier Park was incredibly disappointing and concerning. We arrived around noon and began setting up our site. Around 1:30 PM, the campground host (an older gentleman from Iran) came by and asked if we were aware of the rules. We said yes, and he reminded us that music must stop by 9:30 PM and everyone should be asleep by 11:30 PM -- which we respected. Late... Our experience at McGill Campground in Frazier Park was incredibly disappointing and concerning. We arrived around noon and began setting up our site. Around 1:30 PM, the campground host (an older gentleman from Iran) came by and asked if we were aware of the rules. We said yes, and he reminded us that music must stop by 9:30 PM and everyone should be asleep by 11:30 PM -- which we respected. Later that afternoon, my husband attempted to fly his drone to explore the area. We had already checked all relevant federal regulations and confirmed that drone use is allowed in national forests (unlike national parks). However, the host immediately came over, aggressively telling us drones were not permitted and insisting we check their website. We did -- and found nothing that prohibited drones as he claimed. There were also no signs anywhere indicating this made-up restriction. At 9:21 PM, the same host entered our camp -- visibly intoxicated -- and started yelling at us, claiming we were disturbing the peace. We were quietly eating dinner; there was no music and no loud noise. His behavior escalated quickly, and he even threatened to use pepper spray on us, which was shocking. For more detailed content, I also want to mention that he spent most of the day across from us drinking at another campsite, and we witnessed him argue with other campers as well, seemingly without cause. At 9:30 PM, he said he would call the police. By 1:00 AM, law enforcement arrived, woke everyone up, and told us we had to leave because the host "wanted us gone." We explained that most of our group had been drinking (except me), and driving at that hour would be unsafe and illegal. Despite this, some of our friends were arrested for refusing to leave and spent 12 hours in jail. This experience was beyond unacceptable. What was meant to be a relaxing outdoor weekend turned into a traumatic ordeal because of an aggressive, intoxicated host abusing his authority. I will strongly caution anyone considering a stay at McGill Campground. I would never be back there after everything that happened. I will also file an official complaint against the staff at the park.

A great campsite the sites are spaced nicely apart, the restrooms are nicely maintained, there's many sites to choose from and it's usually never packed here. The hosts even came by and helped us out with the fee procedure and they patrol the area often. I will warn that the winds here can be a bit strong, but that might have just been the night we went.

A great campsite the sites are spaced nicely apart, the restrooms are nicely maintained, there's many sites to choose from and it's usually never packed here. The hosts even came by and helped us out with the fee procedure and they patrol the area often. I will warn that the winds here can be a bit strong, but that might have just been the night we went. Campsite 75 was large enough to hold 5 of us and I'm sure we could've fit another tent.
