Nice sites. Excellent host. Lots of creatures and birds. Great location. Close to the center of town. But the bathrooms could be a bit cleaner.

Lovely campsite, yurt could use a new metal frame for the bed it was quite bent up but we just put the mattress on the floor and it was fine. Randy, the host was friendly and very attentive, very on top of issues, great host. Loved hearing the river flow at night.

I come to Headquarters to camp almost every Summer and I never get tired of coming and staying here. It definitely gets really hot but having the river so close by to jump into makes it so worth it. This time of year, the river was jamming and it was high tide. River water was still very cold! I booked a yurt (for the first time) from Saturday 5/31 to Monday 6/2. It was very clean and comfortable to stay/sleep in. It was a particularly hot weekend but it was nice not to have to set up a tent and have roof coverage. Campsite #31 was great and was very spacious. The campground host, Randy, was awesome and made me and my partner feel welcomed and safe. For anyone new to this spot, there are only hole in the ground restrooms and they definitely get stinky so it’s good to be prepared for that and there is no cell service (but town is so close). I will continue to come back here time after time.

We spent (3) nights at the Headquarters Campground. Shortly after we arrived, the Host, (Randy) greeted us and was very attentive to answering our questions. His knowledge of the local area, hikes, activities, etc. was excellent. Randy maintains this campground in excellent condition. The trash area is clean, and the campsites are free of debris. Fire rings and bear boxes were empty. The pit toilets are well maintained and stocked with paper. We observed Randy checking the grounds frequently, throughout our stay. Randy also made it very clear that he takes maintaining the guest's safety a priority. We have stayed at other campgrounds. Headquarters stands out above the rest, because of Randy!
