I reserved the group site which was really great for families with 20 or more. Really, really spacious, our own parking lot and gazebo. Just be careful because there are spiders in the gazebo. Trees do provide light shade, around 7 picnic tables, 2 inside the gazebo, 3 surrounding the gazebo, and the other 2 spread out the site. Bathroom is about a 3 minute walk but seems like 6 because you are walking uphill. Bathrooms were surprising clean compared to other campgrounds I have been to. It does get stuffy in there on hot days and smells, but it was clean. Men's bathroom does need the light changed because the lights were flickering like a horror movie scene. For the group site, there is no personal trash can, big dumpster is located near the bathroom but on the opposite side towards the other sites. Campground offers privacy, the camp ranger was super cool. He gave us passes which gave us access to the day use areas to the campground and the other sister campgrounds (Eagle Pass, Angler's Cove, and Buckhorn). Orland Butte is the smaller campground of the other 2. Unlike other campgrounds, this group campground offers privacy. If there is a wildfire near the county, I suggest that you call the campground to see if the burn suspension affects the campground. This campground isn't part of the SRA campgrounds so you might be able to bbq with charcoal and have a campfire during fire season. Bring lots of flashlights because there isn't any street lamps at this campground and it does get super dark. My only complaint is that there isn't a swimming site, but that is where the passes the ranger issues come in handy. Keep those passes in your vehicle so you can drive to Angler's cove or the Buckhorn recreational area. My suggestion would be to book your campsites during Spring or towards the end of Summer because it gets super hot. I survived 2 days of 105 degree weather. It does get windy at night so an all-weather tent would work best. As for wild animals, we saw squirrels, lizards, and a bat. We did hear coyotes towards the hills. When using GPS to get there, make sure you type in Orland Buttes Campground, if not, GPS will have you going towards the office location. If you are still unsure, when you see the cemetery there's a street and that is the street you turn on. Stores and gas stations are 15 minutes away and cheaper compared to other towns with campgrounds. If you have an EV (specifically Tesla), closest charging station is 15 miles away in another city. I would suggest you prepare a map for charging station locations. Overall it was a great campground, really private, rangers were cool. The quiet hours are from 10 - 6, but the rangers are a lot more relaxed on that rule than other campgrounds. They were pretty cool about it as long as it doesn't get out of hand with the loud music. The only complaint is that there isn't a swimming site at the campground. read more
