Beautiful small campground. The sound of the rushing river was delightful. Hiking, fishing and wildlife watching are the main activities here.
Campground host Todd and his sidekick pup Troy were welcoming and helpful. No cell service.

Overall we love this campground. It’s quiet. Great fishing. The problem we had this year is it seems the site numbers have changed and don’t match the map online. I booked site 7 which shows on the map as being on the outside of the loop in the tree area but when we got there site 7 was actually in the center of the circle with no trees. Very disappointed with that site. The map online needs to be updated to reflect the correct sites numbers and locations.
