Too many fleas. Didn't know there was a plague warning.

Lovely site +lovely host = happy campers. Site 76 is spacious, surrounded by wild roses and of course the creek which drowns out all the generators! The hosts were friendly and provided great advice for day hikes. Only downside was the dust- otherwise a fantastic option.

This campground is great. With the creek running around the site and wildlife all around. It’s a beautiful place full of nature ready to make all the memories. It’s close to town also which is great.

Host was very friendly. Creek is not really visible from any campsites due to brush and requires a little walk. There were mice running around the campsite at night and we caught several mice each night that had snuck up into our RV presumably from underneath. Lots of hills at the campground and gravel so not good for kids bikes, but E-bikes can survive it . Lots of people with off roading vehicles.

Okay, the reviews about the camp hosts are invalid. As of June 23rd, the camp hosts were wonderful. The grounds have lots of shade on every site. There are two creeks that run along the property N/S and E/W. Both had fish in them. The entry sites will be dusty, as the entire grounds are all dirt, no concrete. If youre into "glamping" this is not the area for you. It is 7 minutes from Vons if you forgot anything or need a supply run. No bears during my visit, but definitely they are around. Friendly people, only 1 night had a quiet hours violation. 8/10 for me.

It was very windy and cold for mid-to-late June but sometimes that happens and it can't be helped. There was a Moto-X motorcycle event going on in town and we had a lot of young kids on dirt bikes going a bit too fast up and down the dirt road in front of our campsite for the weekend but that wasn't *too* bad, and the camp host had in fact asked them not to at least once. Kids, what do you do? :) Overall, we really like the campground and how it's managed and taken care of. Bathrooms are always clean and the sites are taken care of. We really like it here.

Such an awesome campground. We have been staying here every year for the past 11 yrs. The park is well kept, bathrooms are clean, the host are friendly and the "camp animals" are always fun to see.

Great spot and was a pretty quiet camp site. The camp hosts were inviting and knowledgeable. Thsy let us know a mama bear was raising her cub on the outskirts of the camp, we didn't get to see her though.

Camp host Debbie and her husband are the best! This site was great for an RV. Can hear the creek at night.
