Quiet, fully wooded campground 12 miles south of Hwy 126, on Forest Road 19 (the scenic Aufderheide). There are 17 mostly very large sites, with plenty of room for more than one tent (a few very small ones). Some are reservable on recreation.gov, some are first come first serve. During the week, there were several choices. We didn't see any problem at all with the water, and there is easy access to the river from most sites. It's about 3 miles from both Terwilliger Hot Springs and the swimming area in Slide Creek CG. The French Pete trailhead is directly across the road, down a small access road (no sign), which gives you access to a great trail up and along the river. The tiny towns of Rainbow and McKenzie Bridge have a few restaurants about a half-hour away. Unfortunately, Blue River was totally destroyed in the 2020 fire. All in all, a great campground in a great location.
