Cute campsite, you can hear the river from the campsite. Campsite staff were friendly and there was a great hike nearby. A little road noise but it was not well traveled at night so it was easy to sleep. Cleanest pit toilets ive ever seen.

Would like to stay there again.

Always great! The camp host was super.
Nice that the bathrooms were not too terrible considering they are non-flush.

Had a wonderful time staying at #19. We had a 10 person tent which this site accommodated no problem. The site is elevated to where the creek is. My little guy loved to hike down and play in the creek. You could also hear the creek during the night. The road is elevated right off the campground so you will get traffic noise, which at night is minimal and then gets heavier starting about 6 - 6:30am. We visited slide rock, which is only about 5 mins north of here. There are also 4 vault toilets for all of the campsites. Everyone there was kind and respectful about noise levels. We would stay here again.

This campground is amazing. Right along the creek, lots of shade, toilets, and big spaces. Unfortunately we were evacuated due to the fire, but our camp host let us know right away. She was very kind and made sure we all got out safely. We will definitely come back again!!
