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.

Had a great time but the weather was chilly which has nothing to do with the campground

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.

The campground is maintained and bathrooms cleaned regularly. The river and mountain views are amazing.

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. |
