Campground and site are easily accessible. No hiking-in required. Most campsites are pretty close to one another, but there are a few that feel a bit more private/secluded. Being in such excellent proximity to the river was a surprise. That does bring with it a heavy community of mosquitoes, however, so bring bug spray and all the anti-skeet items ya got. Thankfully, for the most part, you'll really only see them (in heavy doses) around sunset each day. The nearby Indian Valley Store was closed so we trekked down to the Lost Nugget Market in Camptonville for firewood and gas. Service there was very friendly. All in all, this was a great spot and the views on the river were awesome.

Super clean campground and toilets. Minimal traffic from Hwy 49 after dark.
Site # 15 Bear Locker does not have a door - Nat. Forest Service notified as of 5/23.
Bring bug spray and sunscreen.
Nice hiking for beginners and experienced hikers areas close by, but bring plenty of water for those hotter days.
