We were not notified that potable water was not available. You should NOT be charging your rates without potable water. Other than that, Wild Plum was as great as ever.

This is a beautiful campground. Campsites are spaced out. Lots of trees and shade. Creek flowing. Clean pit toilets.

A nice campground. Parking is limited for more than 1-vehicle, but this is stated in the particular campsite info

Unfortunately no potable water. Although not your fault, dry conditions prevented campfire. As is often the case, camposites were available at the site that had not been available at time of online booking. Very polite and helpful campground hosts.

This little campground is a gem that I continue to return to year after year! Great camp hosts who helped keep the bears away. Please help keep this beautiful little campground clean and keep bears wild by using the locking bear boxes for your food and toiletries, and taking your trash to the locking dumpsters.

Beautiful campground, but #30 is not good for a trailer. Narrow driveway is very sloped and requires expert backing up skills. If your door is on the passenger side you step out into the neighbor's site. Great site for tents. Cabover trucks could work, bring all your heavy duty leveling blocks, lynx blocks won't cut it.
