We reserved the group campsite which says it has 12 parking spots, this is not accurate and our group has a difficult time with parking. The camp spot also isn't well marked and when we arrived there were campers in our spot.
The listing says there is water but it is only in drinking fountains as far as we could find which makes it difficult to fill large containers of water.
The freeway is pretty loud here so make sure to bring ear plugs.

No other campsite can beat the price and amenities. Flush toilet, water, paper towel, shades, a river with 360 degree mountain view in just $8. No other place on Earth can beat this price. The campsite is very beautiful and clean.

Good cheap campground. Sinks had some bugs but were mostly clean. There was a dumpster for garbage service. There was a drinking fountain for filling water. Sites were very close together. The campsite was definitely in a windy area so plan for massive wind if tenting. We would stay there again especially for the price.

Beautiful river to walk down to, decent camp spots which are well spaced. We were at the upper loop which was surprisingly quiet given the proximity of the highway. Great to have the sun shade at our site. Restrooms however were a bit lacking— water was turned off for the faucets in the women’s bathroom and there was no soap. There was potable water listed but we only found it accessible from the drinking fountain near the restrooms, i.e. there was no spigot for easy filling of larger containers. Water is also somewhat sulfurous which may bother some people.
