Camp hosts, Steve and Cash, are frequently praised for their friendliness and attentiveness, enhancing the overall stay. While some campsites are close together, the well-maintained facilities, stunning river views, and excellent hiking trails make it a favorite for many visitors.

Intolerable helicopter logging occurring right over our campsite for hours! Sounded like a war zone!
It would have been lovely, but the intense noise started at 6:00AM!!!

The camp hosts were fabulous. Steve and Cash warmly greeted us upon arriving. They were knowledgeable of the area. The campgrounds were clean and bathrooms stocked. This was the quietest campground we have ever camped at. Amazingly at quite time the entire campground was silent.
Side note: The ground was weirdly wet every morning and dry by afternoon. If you are tent camping I suggest that you bring something to lay your tent on. Also do not leave anything out that you do not want wet in the morning
The 3 star rating was due to the forest service helicopter (sooooo loud) that was removing logs across the river from the campground. They kindly woke us up between 6 & 6:30am both Saturday and Sunday and worked till roughly 10am ish.

It was early in the season and we had rain so we almost had the grounds to ourselves. It was quiet, clean and beautiful! This was our second stay and a great little campground.
