Had site 20, the beach entrance was right in front of us. Family had a great time, if you go tubing walk up the road to the next campsite and you’ll see a sign that says ‘River Entrance.’ It’s a fun ride back to your campsite.

Love Headquarters Campground! we've gone now 4 times in last 3 years. We love Loop C all the back sites. We use site 13 the most. Great access to the river. It's our own little oasis. The grounds are clean and hosts are great. We have never had any problems. We brought our grandkids and nephews this visit. This site is great for the kids. they can play in the water without worrying about the rapids on the other side of "island". We are making this our annual vacation spot.

Great campground! River access is super convenient and the river was calm along that stretch.

The host was over bearing. He harassed us every other day. He was very rude. He woke us up before dawn. He argued with my children when i was in the restroom.

Camp host was excellent. Sad no charcoal or wood fires, but that's the drought's fault. Campsites and Yurts great. Too bad the water source at yurt 31 was out, but things happen. Site was clean on arrival despite coming the day after a holiday. We cleaned up after ourselves too. Other campers were appropriate. We white water rafted during the day, it was great. Close to great hikes and 100 giants(redwoods)
