The campground was clean, privy’s well maintained and water available, trash available and not overflowing. We have been to a fair number of similar campgrounds and this was very nice. I would just say that there does need to be more board walk installed on the trail to the river/PCT overlap-it was a mess from people trying to stay out of the mud-trampling the grass/extending the trail etc

Campsite 2 was unusable for tenting. It was extremely sloped and rocky — it appears that it had been damaged in the burn and not well repaired. I was disappointed to arrive here with 4 other PCT hikers in tow after a long day to find that the campsite we had reserved was in bad shape and we’d have to set up our tents elsewhere (luckily, someone didn’t show up to a different reserved site).

Nice, remote campground with several good tent sites. However, the site I had reserved (#6) wasn't good - two small, lumpy platforms scooped out of the slope, not even the size of a sleeping bag. My tent was tilted and I kept sliding sideways all night.

The road to get there is in rough shape but it's beautiful, never seen the stars so clearly in my life. The burned trees actually add an interesting layer to the surroundings that I didn't expect and there are nice trails nearby. A bit out of the way from the other attractions in the park but easy to reserve.

Play the campsites are small but the problem that we had was that the restrooms were horrendous oh, if you just open the door you started gagging and I am in Avid camper have used many outhouses but this one was especially bad... Other than that I enjoyed all the hiking trails that are nearby and once we figured out how to situate our tents it all worked out in the camp site itself

The campground is nice, but for several days no reservation updates where posted near the sites. Leading to several people arriving at their reserved site with someone else already camping there.

Perfect location near the gysers and hiking trails. Site was quiet and clean. The toilets were immaculate. A gorgeous place to stay.

This campground is basic--sites are close together, vault toilets, potable water--but great positioning for lovely hikes. Greatly enjoyed the hike to Devil's Kitchen, then Boiling Lake and Terminal Geyser. BYO toilet paper!

The water faucet next to site 14 had no handle. No toilet paper in women's bathroom next to site 14 for 5 days.
No camp host to report problems to.
The bear box had a warped door that made it very hard to close. The latches were hard to use and I think easy for a bear to open.
