Easy to access campground on maintained dirt road. Sites were clean, adequately spaced apart, and had ample shade. Views and access to the creek from the sites are quite limited, but accessible from the bridge (which is very, very close). Hike up the ridge isn't particularly interesting, but if you keep hiking the views get better. Good experienced and I'd stay here again.

All of the sites are fairly spaced out and private. 8 and 9 are closest together. We saw an otter swimming in the creek. Clean vault toilets. Not as perfect as Crystal Creek campground was, but next best thing.

Overall decent campsite although the ground is very rocky (i.e tent spikes won't go in) and not level at most sites. Mosquitos are definitely an issue with the proximity to water and there isn't good access to the creek at the campsite. The area is still pretty damaged from recent forest fires and most trails are inaccessible. No camp host aside from random ranger visits. The area is quiet and it being a small campground is nice. Bathrooms are well kept.
