The road in is narrow but in pretty good condition. Unfortunately, the Forest Service has cut down a gazillion perfectly healthy huge old trees in preparation for widening the road. What's next? Cutting down even more big trees to make multiple parking lots?! They have a shuttle system currently so thousands of cars don't have to drive down and park.

The campground used to have an amazing bathhouse by the hot spring, but the Forest Service closed it. Why?! Such a shame to let such great things rot.

Cindy, the camp host, is fantastic - so helpful and friendly! Super clean vault toilets; among the best I've ever seen. No bad smells, plenty of TP. Unfortunately, her manager is less fantastic - made us move our van from its level spot for some bizarre reason, and then closed the half of the campground with the best spots so we had to move anyway (tho maybe that was not her decision and she was just following orders).

Despite my complaints, it's still a gem and worth the trip, particularly for the hikes.
