Had high hopes for this campground, way out of the way and obly 6 spots to camp, love rustic camping but when getting there all the spots were close by each other and no trees to hide your campsite and give you privacy and peace of mind ended up just driving off after a 30 minute drive down a unkept 1 lane road
Pros: For a last minute July 4th plan wanting a secluded fly fishing river, this place delivered - almost had the entire campsite and river to myself! Toilette was great and clean, spring water source was a nice touch. Almost complete solitude.
Cons: Now if you aren't looking for a secluded fly fishing river (ie normal camping experience), this place might not be what you are looking for. It takes 20-30 minutes of two track driving to get here from cell reception/nearest gas station. Roads are a little rough but not that bad. Pretty buggy - lots of ticks, mosquitos, horseflies. Limited views, trails, activities for people that aren't fishing or content siting around camp all day.
Visited in May 2022. Very remote. Roads were in rough shape. Sites themselves are ok. River access. Trash was piled up outside of cans. Not worth the drive in my opinion.
