Clean site. Decent table and fire pit. Friendly and respectful neighboring campers. Hiking in and around the Camp was relatively easy and scenic.

Latrine maintenance was lacking. Whatever the maintenance schedule is it should be updated to reflect the number of filled sites.

You are not doing as was promised as to walk in sites. A certain percentage was promised, but slowly they have been reduced to very few. And they are not the most desirable.
Thank you for passing this on to those responsible for the change.

Beautiful site. Clean. Right next to creek. Plenty of wood to burn.

No showers. Only a vault toilet. No where to wash hands. Only a few water spigots around the campground, not at each campsite.

Quiet and stream drowned out a lot of noise. We had a decent sized campsite and there is lots of nice hiking nearby. Wasn’t warm enough to play in the water but that would have been fun.

We stayed at site #7 right by the water and it was beautiful, couldn't ask for better! Vault toilets were clean & bug-free (for the most part), and the camp host fit the name, "host with the most!" Great hiking trails, too, right from the campgrounds. We'll definitely be back! Oh... our dog found a baby rattler under our van. No damage done. We carried the snake off to the hill by our site and let him find a new place to hang :)

The upper section of the CG where we stayed appears to be very much neglected. The road and spikes are unpaved and in poor condition, while the lower section of the CG is paved and much better maintained. The restrooms were clean and not smelly at all. We camped at Wild Plum in our Sprinter camper van.

Nice campground. Easy to find. No cell service. Campground was in a hill/angle, but not too bad. Had a fire pit, cooking grate and bear box.

In accordance with standard industry practices, we will be assessing a $5 additional vehicle fee on the 'second vehicle' in each single family campsite, and on the 'third and fourth vehicle' in any double family campsite, provided these vehicles are not joined to the first vehicle by a hitch and towed onto the site. In the case of motorcycles, the first two are considered to be one vehicle and the third and fourth are also considered to be one vehicle. No additional vehicle fees are collected for bicycles.

Bears frequent the area; all food must be kept in approved containers

No Show Policy
A no-show customer is one who does not arrive at a campground and does not cancel the reservation by check-out time on the day after the scheduled arrival date (or for day-use facilities, by check-in time the day of arrival). 
* No-show customers are only recorded at staffed facilities. At most remote facilities, all customers are noted as automatically checked-in on the date of arrival.
* It is recommended that staffed facilities hold a campsite until check-out time on the day following the arrival date.
* It is recommended that staffed facilities hold group day-use facilities until check-in time on the arrival date.
There is no change fee if a customer extends or shortens a reservation if the change includes dates from the original reservation. If they choose to depart early, they may forfeit some or all of the recreation fees. 
There is no change fee if the customer changes campsites that are the same price and on the same reservation dates in the same campground. If the campsite the customer is changing to has a price difference, the customer will be responsible for any additional fees or be provided with a refund, based on the price difference. 
Where recorded, no-show customers are assessed a $20.00 no-show fee and forfeit the first night's recreation fee for a campsite or forfeit the entire day-use recreation fee for a day-use facility. We recommend customers contact the facility if they are en route to their reservation but cannot make it by the check-in date. In these cases, no refund will be issued, but the facility can ensure that a "no-show" fee is not assessed.
