Note: This review is during COVID (Sunday 8/9 - Friday 8/14, 2020) As others have said, there is quite a bit of road noise during the day but it settles down quite a bit a night. Several people like to honk as they drive by... thanks for that. We called ahead to make sure that the restrooms were open and available. What we weren't told is that they blocked off the vault toilets with port a potties and for the most part, those were completely disgusting. Don't choose site #2 unless you like toilet stank. We had Site 12. There is zero shade, very rocky, with a small fire pit area and no good place to set up a tent, but you can go set up one by the river. At night, you can hear the river babbling once traffic has died down. This is a GREAT site for a large RV. Note that Site 11 shares the parking area but it's wide enough if both are RVs with extra cars. I like that site 12 was not on the "highway" side and there wasn't a lot of traffic in and out of the campground. Not a lot of mosquitoes either. The downside is that Site 13's picnic table and fire pit is SUPER close so there is no privacy between 12 and 13 but would be good if friends were traveling together. We lucked out and no one was there the entire time (phew). If you have several friends camping together, consider grabbing Site 3. It's a big. flat. shaded area and you can sit a lot of people around the fire pit. This was hang out central for our group (socially distanced of course). It has a wide circular driveway as well. Note: It was SUPER windy in afternoon. We had pop up canopy casualties. Important; No bear boxes. I know a lot of people count on that for storage. Independence Lake is right up the road and good for a swim as is Webber falls. The best swimming hole in the campground is nearest the group site. A+ for the stargazing and the camp host.
