Headquarters

We enjoyed our stay at Headquarters. Spent 2 nights during Thanksgiving weekend with our pups and a camper van. Campsite #15 was great, right on the river near a short trail that led you down to the water’s edge. Fortunately it wasn’t too crowded so we didn’t experience anyone walking through our site to access the trail, though I could see it being potentially annoying during the spring or summer months. Neighboring campers were very polite, I was also glad to see a few that wore masks. Unfortunately we did notice that was a bit of trash left over from previous guests, very frustrating seeing that there was a very large container at the entrance for everyone to offload their garbage. Bathroom was very clean, well stocked, and having access to water from the spigots was also helpful. We were relieved to find out that we could have campfires (according to the fs.usda.gov site it looked like there were restrictions in place), so on the second night we picked up some wood just up the road. Cell service was pretty much zero for us (T-Mobile), but being off grid was actually pretty nice. We would definitely return to Headquarters, though we’d like try out other sites and maybe a yurt or two.

High desert camping, sites on the river are best, bigger and further apart. We had 20 and 25. Bathrooms were clean and cared for. Episodic cell reception with verizon,

Campground is very close to the road, some sites back directly too the road without tree or anything to block road noise. Campground hosts did not seem to be around (or at least I never saw them) and there were some people playing loud music and running generators during quiet hours. The river is great though, really beautiful. There was trash around the river and campground.

Nice campground. I went off season, so it wasn't crowded and was more enjoyable. Space tested my trailer parking ability a bit, but not too bad. River was very low due to lack of rainfall so trout bite was almost nonexistent; but good scenery and photo ops.

Quiet and clean, Good host

Headquarters was very quiet during my stay, so quiet I was the only camper on the B Loop. (Can't beat that!) My campsite was clean, near the water and provided everything I needed...I have to say, though, $30 a night is a little steep for a pit toilet.
