Excellent Camp Host in 2022 at Eleven Mile Campground. Hiking, fires pits and lots of running around space for those active kids. At this campground there are several walk in tent camp sites North and South in the valley on both ends of the camp ground, it would be helpful to bring a wagon.
Several of the sites are more for RVs like #10. The river is beautiful, not many fish across from the campground, but you can drive further up to much more glorious fishing in the Gold Waters of Eleven Mile . July the river is good for children to tube on the side of the river near the road.

The camping area and restrooms were very well maintained. The fishing was a little less than what we expected; however, we learned that there hasn't been any stocking since about July 4th. We were fishing in the bait area.

Be prepared to pay an entrance fee of $8 even when you pay for a camp site and no Credit Cards are NOT excepted. There is a corner store at the front of the roads entrance, however they charge a min to get cash back, no ATM. Lady at the entrance has some passive aggressive comments that could have been kept to herself. Campground is well kept and overall very beautiful.
