Beautiful campsite. Very well-maintained. The river is accessed via a short trail and has some amazing swimming holes. The sites are not very flat for tent camping but we made it work with our 4-man tent. Anything bigger may not fit well at some campsites. Overall, we had a great time here and would definitely stay again!

The site spaces are small for a 30’ trailer. We got the trailer in, but the truck had to park parallel with the street. The campground is beautiful and very clean. Unfortunately you have to fill up water tank because there is no water bibs to use to access water.

We love this place but going in August there were SO MANY YELLOWJACKETS!! The park didn't seem like they were doing any mitigation either which made it worse sadly.

Pretty campsites with lots of huckleberries. Tidy bathrooms. Sites are close but well partitioned. Beautiful little beach with a nice swimming hole. Rangers thoughtfully stopped by to tell us about road closure.

We had site 17 which was spacious, private, views of the hills through the treeline, easy river access, close to bathrooms and quiet.

We LOVED Camping here! The camp hostess was so sweet, and the campground was clean and beautiful. The bathrooms had flushing toilets and mirrors. There were even outlets in the bathrooms. The showers were great, bring quarters.
We were in campsite 29 and I thought it was the best. Close to the bathrooms but not close enough to be annoying. It felt a little more secluded and spacious than some of the others. Good trees for setting up a hammock and plenty of room for multiple tents.

Great campsites, and the swimming hole can’t be beat!
