Great location. Loved the sites, 5 up high away from people but closer to the road. 5 closer to the creek. Great bird watching and proximity to town and hiking. Also very nice fire pits and grills.

Everything actually there was great. Cozy, chill environment. Well-kept sites. Helpful host. Beautiful scenery with walking access to Oak Creek. Pit toilet bathrooms very clean, given what they are. Convenient walking path to Sterling Pass trailhead. Only knocks are acceptable (more so knowing what you're getting into): some road noise, tight entrance/exit via main road, lack of showers. Would recommend/return someday.

Nice campsite, table and fire pit are on even ground. The site is right next to the camp hosts. You might have difficulty parking a larger SUV or truck because of the tight parking shared with Site 10. I don’t recommend this site if you have a trailer. The site is not on the river, but still close enough. The hosts were very nice and the vault toilets were clean.

Cody and Anna (the hosts) were super friendly, took care of wood delivery, and kept the bathrooms immaculate! The campsite is small and the sites are on top of each other, but that's what you get for creekside campsite. The fishing was excellent. It was stocked on Thursday. The road is close, but traffic dies down around 10. I didn't enjoy the guy who set up his tent literally 2 feet from mine then snored all night. (They did have 3 giant tents, and 2 cars for 3 guys and 5 boys for a little tiny site.) I like this campground for its lovely creek access but the FS is trying to squeeze out as much money as they can by putting the sites so close together.
