I absolutely love this place! No fires was a sure bummer...make sure you have a propane fire pit when you go!!!
BEAUTIFUL place to camp, but Camp Host is rarely there, so you're on your own if you need anything. Bring water, because occasionally the water doesn't work. The 3-mile dirt road to the campground is bumpy, steep (16% grade in spots), and scary (on the side of a cliff - be careful).
Heads up - no cell phone reception.
For 40 years we had fun exploring the nearby natural areas, but now the Tribes have signs all over the place restricting everyone who isn't a native to the campground proper and the road. No more cliff climbing or birding. :-(
Outhouse #1 always needs emptying - the smell is soooo strong. Don't ever camp in space #1, because the smell will ruin your trip.
The upper loop (#19-27) is rarely used except as a last resort. No views, and the spaces are not correctly designated as "single" or "group". Space #21 doesn't even really exist - no table, no firepit. It's just a gravel parking space next to a dumpster. Space #25(?) is supposed to be for a group, but there's only parking for one car. The one next to it, #26(?), has more room and parking for 3 cars, but it's a single site. Makes no sense.
Group spaces should always have 2 picnic tables, but not all do. There should be parking for at least 4 cars in a group spot.
The day-use area next to the camp host does not have a functioning water faucet, because it is uphill from the water source.
There is a metal fire ring up against the fence behind space #20 - someone pushed it down the hill and it needs to be retrieved.
There is trash in many of the firepits and on the ground. All empty spots should be immediately cleaned for the next campers. Camp Host should be on top of that daily.
There are signs saying we can't ever have fires anymore, but everyone does anyway. Why are there firepits then? We've been having campfires there for 40 years.
Take out the damn boulders blocking the entrance to each site. It just makes people mad that they can't get their cars into their site, and many people have moved the boulders, and many more have stopped camping here altogether.
Clean and stocked bathrooms that don't really smell all that bad.. Nice and simple park with spacious camp areas, a boat ramp, and beach fishing area.
