Quiet,clean campground with spaces for tent campers and smaller RVs. Bathrooms are kept very clean. Prices are reasonable and there is a friendly campground host
We didn't stay - we just checked it out and moved on. This is a beautiful campground with lots of trees and shrubs, but none of the sites have a view of the river. Only one site has access to the river and its not an easy walk - the path is narrow and uneven. If you don't mind the lack of water view or access, then this is a lovely place to camp.
We stayed 4 nights at Pete Creek Campground. It was very nice, the sites were not super close and outhouses were cleaned every day. My only criticism (and the reason for 3 instead of 5 stars) was that the outhouses were cleaned with an overabundance of Lysol and Pinesol. So much so that sizeable puddles were left outside. It really isn't necessary to use that much, and the smell was unpleasant.
Nice place not too far from the center of "town." 13 (not 8) sites.) Great host. Second site on the right (No. 3, IIRC. Private path to the pit toilet and Pete Creek.) Clean bathrooms, water and food storage locker for those of us who arrive by bike. Great swimming hole. Pretty much across the main road is Pete Creek Road. Take a ride (or drive) up into the forest. Saw a bear up there the last time I was there. Saw a young bull elk the next morning as I was leaving camp.
