First time camping and the site was great! Close the river and close to bathroom. Area was clean. Other campers where nice and respectful. Ranger on duty was great!

Camp site # 20 needs new table. If you try both side seats, you will feel the difference and issues.

Great hosts, beautiful scenery. Literally only complaint was the amount of foxtails. Everything else was fantastic.

It was magical. The hosts were amazing and informative...they were two hosts. I think it was candice and some other guy. I think that was her name. Anyhow, we will go back. My family and I all enjoyed and we caught fish. It was a clean and friendly camp site.

We have been camping at Headquarters many years, both summer and winter months. Friendly camp host/hostess this February trip. Out-houses could stand to be upgraded.
