A little close to the highway, but not bad. Also our neighbors ran their generator almost all the time which was somewhat annoying. It was the perfect temperature so why did he need AC?

Our fly rods were stolen out of camp, no campground host or other campers at that time. BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR STUFF, nothing else was taken.

Mark is the man! I called and picked his brain about a trip to the area with a lot of questions and he was beyond helpful. I definitely owe him a beer.

Cute campground; a little close to the road but not terrible. Stream was fun for the kids to ply in. Spot #9 is uncomfortably close to spot #10 but would be a great spot for a small group to use both. Spot #9 is wide enough for the trailer and a car next to it.

This is a great place to stay if you do not mind traffic noise and need a place to escape some valley heat. Stream is still flowing at about 20 cfs in August after some drought conditions. Enough to get you feet wet and cool off.

Was there for holiday weekend can't expect quiet neighbors, but love the area and one of the best hosts I've ever been around. Thank you Vern for your hard work
