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.

Campsite 19 is basically a pull off on the road with a super steep area for the fire pit. It was not safe to stay with our kids. This shouldn’t be part of the campsites offered, or clearly explained before booking.

Be aware, this is not suitable for a Handicapped camp site at all. The spot for the camper is on a very inclined and uneven hill, making it extremely difficult to impossible to level the camper unless you’ve brought an unusual amount of your own supplies to do so with. However, even if you manage to precariously level the camper, you still will face a VERY long step down from the camper on VERY sloping ground and rather loose fine gravel. You’ve just camped on the side of a rather steep hill basically. Doable for a fairly athletic person, but certainly hazardous if you intend to have a couple of beers at most, and possibly dangerous if you might need to get up at night and walk to the bathrooms. Which I should mention, are about 100 yards away back up around the gravel road. But certainly a dangerous trek in a wheelchair, especially back down the road even in daylight. Again, a long difficult and somewhat treacherous distance for a Handicapped Spot!
However, the restrooms were very clean and well maintained! As are the roads and all the campsites. It was very quiet there during the weekdays we were there, Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, but we left one day early because of the difficult incline of the site. It was Just too exhausting and becoming dangerous getting in and out of the camper.
We saw other sites at this campground that would possibly be suitable for handicapped, but none I could really recommend as Handicapped. In fact, this site is probably the least suitable site in this campground as Handicapped.
Otherwise a very nice quiet dark sky place for healthy mobile or athletic young families .
