This is one of the most amazing little campgrounds you will ever find! The hiking/biking trails out of the park lead to waterfalls and beautiful mountain vistas. If you're into road riding your motorcycle, this is a launching point. It is a fantastic ride to the Dragons Tail The campground was able to handle my Class A RV.
We had a great stay at Parksville campground. The bathroom was very clean and the place was so peaceful. The host and hostess, Joe and Mary were very friendly and helpful. If they could get better cell service, that would be wonderful!! We plan to go back later in the year.
The park itself is really nice. Very lacking on the staff. No host that we ever saw and I am assuming NF ranger staff finally showed up to take care of restrooms
We absolutely loved this campground. Small, quiet and right on the creek
Very peaceful, I spent the night on my hammock, made coffee and oatmeal for breakfast. Set off for a day of adventure. $3 for lot use so much better than any where else on earth. The rangers came by the next morning to collect money and trash, so friendly never haggled me about a thing. Real cool experience, I will be returning in the future. So calm and relaxing, a real sweet place to chill for a rest over night.
