Camp host was great, campground is great, views and surroundings are wonderful. Only minor issue was the new water system is producing brown tinted water. Overall we love it here!

My site was a nice size. There was no AT&T reception, however I could get it a mile down the road. For the price it would have been nice to have a shower and/or dump station. I originally booked 4 nights, but left half way through due to my dog getting stickers in his paw. Not great for dogs. I wasn't able to hear or see the river from my campsite, however there was a little off-shoot of the river near it.

Great campsite. Quite and clean. The host Deb is very attentive. Weather was great and river was calm.
Very sad to see the destruction that occurred this Spring to some of the best sites, but Deb assured us that they are securing funding and ramping up to make repairs.
It would be nice to see more signage around camp. We first pulled in and was unsure where our site was and went the wrong direction. Maps located online were not very useful. Additionally, it would be nice to know where the water spickets and trash are located (much overgrowth and spickets were hard to locate sometimes. The only trash can was at the front entrance, which was not bad and was a reason for a nice walk.

Camp host, Debra, was so nice and welcoming. Campsite is beautiful and the fishing was prime. Caught several trout fly fishing (all rainbows). Unfortunately got bit by something the first night and got very sick so it cut our trip short.

Campsite was falling apart, only space for 1 tent, the rest was the pad for parking and a solid slope down to the only spot for the tent. Bathrooms were not well maintained, fecal matter ON toilets not cleaned off after multiple days. Water was metallic at best. Campground was quiet and respectful, good fire pits and decent tables.
