We had a lovely flat camp spot. The river is so pretty with a nice swimming beach.

A toilet was not working, and no one seemed to care. The restrooms were in disrepair.

Very nice campground. It is the kind of campground you can go to and enjoy for the campground. Most of the sites are excellent. There were a few uneven sites between the campground loops, but we didn't stay in any of these.
There were a number of volunteers near us and it made the stay enjoyable.
The men's restroom was kept clean.

This campground was quiet and had beautiful scenery. The river flows right through the campgrounds and you are able to access it at several points. Would stay here over the valley despite the drive, the campground was much more private. Close to Maripos Grove, the history center, and general store/gas station.

Wonderful! Great site, right by the river. Clean bathrooms, didn’t feel too crowded although the camp was full. It was our first camping experience and we’ll do it again.

I thought the campsite was very good with a large shaded tree. However, what concerned me were the campers across from me in site 61 or 62 (I was in 57) who had 3 vehicles and more than 6 campers, including teenagers and small children which is against the campground rules. They also had 3 large tent and a large trailer that they carried all their equipment in as well. I think you should be more closely monitoring the sites to see that campers are following the rules. There were other campsites nearby that also had more than 6 campers. I am wondering why you don't have a supervisor who stays on site if needed. I believe they have one in the valley campgrounds. I did appreciate that the campground was quiet at night.
