Lovely, quiet, relatively small campground with rocky canyon walls and outcroppings, lush pine forest and best of all...the crick.

Spots are all well maintained and bathrooms are kept clean. The river gets crowded quick but slows down in the evening. There is limited parking but there are reserved parking for campers.

It's a great place, just for old people to be climbing hills not really a good thing was the only down fall they said it was 50 yards away to camp from the parking place they didn't say it was up hill, fishing was terrible nobody caught a thing?

Super crowded. 75 cars coming into the canon on a day pass then 75 cars traveling back out at the end of the day. People park in the campground and then recreate in the river across the road. Leaving their dogs running around off leash while campers have their dogs on leash. On both sides of our site was 3 families camping together, 6 adults and 7 children running back and forth between campsites screaming playing. The parents were without concern for any piece and quiet or that there were other campers in the campground.
