Pull thru site #19 was just a wide spot in the road. No good for a camper. Heavy erosion. This site needs to be rebuilt.

This is a beautiful campground near 11 mile reservoir. This site has a picnic table and a fire ring. there are bathrooms and a pump spigot a short walk away. Only downside to this site is that it is definitely on an angle so you might slightly slide downward trying to sleep depending on the angle of your tent. There is a decent amount of shade.

All sites need dirt grading and fill - all are severely un-level for an RV. I drove our camper on top of firewood (placed atop my regular shims) to get it anywhere near level. Much erosion at all sites. The 'handicapped' site at which we stayed had zero accommodations for anyone impaired.

This is a nice campground that has been completely ignored as far as regular maintenance for the sites. This is not the campground host's problem - this is the U.S. Forest Service doing nothing but collecting money for the sites. Inexcusable.
