The campground was beautiful, nestled between the Hoh River and US 101.

Things that hurt the rating were:

1. The handicapped site would have been great, if they would cut down 1 tree on the eastern side of the pad. Between that tree and the pull through site across the road being lower than the road, it made backing my 24 foot fifth wheel very challenging. In fact there was plenty of area to make the site pull through which makes more sense for a handicapped site.

2. The Handicapped pad was extremely unlevel. Many of the other sites were relatively level.

3. Trails go through the site as shortcuts to the restroom. One trail literally goes through the tent pad for the site. Luckily most people were considerate and didn't use those trails to save time walking to the restroom.

4. The campground is right next to US 101 and has a "boat ramp". Not only do you get the traffic noise from the highway, you get extra traffic from people using the boat ramp (there were companies renting rafts for the river). Plus the people who wanted to use the boat ramp (explained next)

5. The "boat ramp" is so steep you can only launch very light boats (ie kayaks or rafts) using a 4x4. This meant traffic through the park from people who couldn't even use the boat ramp. The river is probably 20+ feet lower than the campground road and is made of river rock.

6. The campground consists of 1 loop. This means that every car checking out the campground (which was completely full the 4 days I stayed) or planning on using the boat ramp drove past every site twice.

7. The restroom was situated in such a way that everyone who stopped to use it at night shown their headlights directly into my trailer. It was amazing how many people not only used bright lights, but left their car running the whole time they used the bathroom. Because there is only 1 stall, this could be many minutes. One time there was a family that did this, waking be up about 1 am. After I was up for about 15 minutes, I finally flashed my flashlight at them and they turned off their headlights.

8. The vault toilet was extremely full in need of a pump out.

The beauty of the campground and the Hog river saved the campground from getting a lower star review.
