If you’re going to use Springer Gulch site 1,2, or 3, please understand that the Forest service has removed the vault toilet from that location. Speaking to the docent, he knew of no timeline for its replacement. This leads you with your own options for a bathroom, or a walk up the hill to the upper part of Springer gulch to use the vault toilet up there. Understand also that now the 14 sites at Springer Gulch have only two restrooms. With 8 people allowed per site…doing the math, you can see that’s not the best set up.

Amazing site, beautiful!! Wouldn't recommend for campers or trailers bigger than a pop up (in the loop), it's a tight fit and the direction of where your door will end up is opposite of what you'd want (opens to the road, not the picnic table/hill). It's amazing that the river is just a short walk from the camp site, it's so peaceful and shallow. Fire pits are great, camp host was awesome and helpful. We will absolutely return if we can get one of the spots not on the loop.

Left early. Absolutely terrible campgrounds. No site is remotely level. And, where there's a empty space for a tent, you can count on rain drainage flowing right through the space. The outdoor toilet was the worst in the canyon. My recommendation is that you close that campground until it can be regraded and modernized.

Had a great time except somebody took our spot even though I had called ahead saying I was going to be late and they assured me they would hold my campsite. Luckily another group never showed so we had a campsite anyways

Great and secluded spot with a lot to do nearby on the river and in town, only reason I mark it down a star is because our site, #14, was basically on top of #13. Barely had room to set up 2 tents… Most sites have really great setups, but a few are really squeezed together.
