Was awakened at 1 am by an abandoned woman the first night. Showers were out of order the second night. Homeless people were hanging around the bathrooms and bothering campers for the door code.

This has long been a favorite park of ours for several reasons. The campsites are slightly more dispersed so campers don't feel stacked up like cord wood. The park is predominately designed for tent and van campers with just a dozen with electrical service. Most of the park is undeveloped and has multiple hiking and biking trails and the environment along the Sacramento River is pretty well left natural. Except for a tiny museum and an herb garden, there are no structures or any recreational enhancements (eg stores, laundry, playgrounds, etc.)

Extremely helpful and welcoming Camp Host. Bathrooms were very clean and well stocked. Showers took quarters, and were also very clean!! Campground was kept clean as well. Camped near camp host. She was very friendly and asked if we needed anything or had any issues to let her know. We liked that the bathrooms had a code for using. This way, only those were camping could use that facility. Camp was quiet at night. We were there for 3 nights in the middle of the week.

Nice campground. Pretty setting not far from freeway & other services. Loved having showers in a forest service campground. ( a quarter for about 3-5 minutes)
