The bathrooms are always so clean, I really appreciate that. They should really grade the road, especially up to tent camping. I've been dodging the same giant potholes and washboards for like 10 years now.

Small, very, very clean campground. Large sites. Access to Gore Creek Trail and other hiking trails is awesome. We will be back! There was cell service with Verizon.

We reserved site 8 and ended up having to move to site 7 as we couldn't get our 26 ft class c RV even close to level. The site was great, very private, however very unlevel front to back. The parking area could use new gravel. That said, the campground was fantastic. The river/falls are spectacular. I think site 13 would be the best. Host was very friendly and bathrooms were really clean.

Campground was easy to get to, bathrooms were clean, sites were spaced out enough, we were in a site near the water so it drowned out any noise from those around us.

Really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful campground. The sound of the water rushing by Gore Creek is wonderful!
