Great looking sites, close to major trailheads. Camp sites are well spaced and not too close to each other. Hosts are helpful and friendly. Will be going there again.

The hosts were the friendlyess and most ambitious that we have ever encountered. The toilets were immaculate and the campsites were the best groomed that we have seen. Thank you for your service.

Site 9. Beautiful pine trees. Very clean vault toilets, well-spaced sites. Creek makes lots of white noise to dampen noise from other campers and highway. However, it was difficult to find a level, smooth location for our large (10x17) family tent, so we ended up on a slight slope with some bumps under. Also the creek was down a very steep 15' embankment and hard to access. It was flowing fast and cold so our kids couldn't play in it. It seemed like only sites 10 and 13 might have creek visibility from their sites. Although site 9 was right next to the creek, we couldn't see it from our campsite due to the steep embankment. Not a great campground for kids, better for adults and maybe RVs instead of tents.

Tent site distant from parking area, requiring a number of climbs (fairly steep) to get our stuff to the campsite. No ice for purchase on site

Beautiful campground! The river runs right next to the campground and the sound really drowns out noise from anyone around you. Lots of places to take walks and hikes nearby. Our pop up trailer fit just fine but larger RVs might find it tight. Many toilets and trash bins around so you don’t have to go far. Camp hosts were the best! Bathrooms super clean and they were constantly checking the trash. Very friendly couple.
