Pros: Friendly camp hostess, clean site, lots of large trees and shade, trails to explore to the creek and meadows, as well as to a strenuous hiking trail. My campsite 19 had plenty of space and a sweet level area to lay my bed. NO Rvs! meant no generators the night I was there- such a blessing to be away from generators. (Other national forest campgrounds in this area allow generators from 6am-9pm. which are my waking hours. Wish they followed the state park practices of more limited generator hours. Or how about no generator areas for those of us who still come to nature to enjoy the peace and quiet. :) Con: The only con was how close the road is and thus the sound of steady traffic early and late in the evening. You can get away from the noise at the creek. :)

We stayed at campsite 4 which we think is the best overall. All the camp sites are pretty close together but being so close to the creek was so nice and an abundance of birds chirping made my heart sing.

Host had comes blocking all entrance points. Could not find him. Finally had to move comes to get in . He was hostile to deal with. Bad attitude. He needs to be reassigned to a position he is happy with.

Really nice to be down in the cool canyon after hiking in the hot sun all day. Campsites are really close together and well maintained. The entrance is not well marked, other than the huge FULL sign. Our biggest complaint was that we were camped close to the outhouse and it really STUNK! Come on, it was only April and those toilets were disgusting. Would really hate to be there when it really gets hot.

We stayed in site #4, which has a trail that takes you to a meadow and down the creek. It had pretty good privacy and was far enough away from the bathrooms to be away from sounds and smells. We had just enough cell service to be able to research hikes. You have to drive to another campground for showers, but it’s worth it for the relative quiet of a small, tent-only campground. Easy creek access!

Campground manager was a grump. Bathroom smell was excessive.
