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.

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?

The campsites are very close together. Neighbors as well. Cold at night in the middle of June, but the beauty is great. The sights were wonderful and you can hear the water at night. The traffic at night is very minimal.

We arrived on a Monday and stayed 4 nights. It was absolutely lovely. One camper was there, but left early the next day. We had the entire campground to our self. The river was low, but okay. We stayed in # 8 & 9. We have a 25’ trailer and it fit well in #9. We will definitely return. Next time we’ll put the trailer in #10 and reserve #9

This was shockingly nice given the proximity to a major road. We had a camper and traffic didn’t bother us at all. When at the stream, it was wonderful and cool, and the kids had a blast. It was the perfect location for quick access and close to town. I would definitely recommend it.

We had a great time at this campground. Bathroom was good and there was another bathroom further up the hill. Camp host was great too. He came by and we had a nice chat and he updated us about the Bear fire. He also let us know he would notify us if there were evacuations since we had no cell service. He let us know he had radio service to stay up to date.
