I haven't camped for many years and this was my first time camping with my kid. The facility was pretty nice overall, with a latrine, picnic table, trash bin, recycling, and even a bear box. My main complaint was that it was SO LOUD, it took me four hours to get to sleep! People were talking, car doors were slamming, loud motorcycles were driving by on the paved road right next to our site, etc., until after midnight. Next time I'll be sure to bring earplugs.

The campground was clean and the fellow campers were friendly and respectful. Lots of room and new bear lockers!

We stayed for 2 days to mountain bike the surrounding area. The campground was clean and shaded which was nice. Our neighbors ( who took over 3 spots) were not so nice. Blaring music, shirtless shenanigans, firing guns, constantly driving around the campground stirring up dust, and playing movies on a large projector with huge speakers all night long. We saw not one ranger the entire time, which means this went unchecked and they were allowed to torture all others in the campground.
Would not reccomend staying in this region.

So much to do! Loved hiking to Upper Sardine Lake and visiting other nearby lakes. The wildflowers were really putting on a show!

Small, cozy campground. Sites and restroom were very clean. Steel that runs nearby provides nice ambient sound. Site 7 is large and set back, but if someone is in site 6 in front of it, I could see it being a challenge to get in and out of.
