This campground was absolutely spectacular. We ended up being the only group for the 2 days we were there, and the camp host was exceptionally friendly. I had my 10 month old and he came down and let us know right away there was a bear spotted 1/4 mile from our site. Also very peaceful seated right on the river. Can’t wait to go back!
Amazing! Truly a great place to leave all the city noice and be one with nature. Love it!
I love going here. Please dont come here so it can stay our little secret! Kidding. Creek runs near a bunch of the sites. Smaller vehicle friendly depending on the season. The road is pretty much closed down in the winter unless you have some shovels and ready for an adventure.
Nice campground, got there around noon on a Saturday and by evening all the spots were taken. Most have nice access to the river and you can hear the river from anywhere. We stayed in #8, which had the most privacy. Host Rick was friendly too
Gorgeous! Campsites are spread out among the trees by a stream. The camp host is wonderful. He was helpful and conscientious.
The road from the highway is shambolic, with huge, water-filled potholes, so proceed with care! No trash service, pump working for water. Bring your own, though, if you are offended by yellowish water.
Bear in camp, so be beary careful with food and trash.
