The area was nice and clean. The restroom was so clean, the best I've ever seen.

An amazing campground! Loved the spacing between sites, the bathrooms were clean, and the view was fantastic.

Camping on the river can't be beat. Some sites have no shade so can be brutally hot. During our stay, the dumpster was overflowing and on of the toilets ran out of paper. The campground hosts were probably just having an off day and couldn't keep up.

On line we paid for a site to accommodate a 35’ camper. Trying to maneuver into the too small space we encountered large pine tree branches that were too low to go under, scraping our trailer roof, awning and Scratching the side body. We are awaiting an estimate for the damages. We were told the ranger had just been there and said all trees were fine, but that was obviously wrong. Pam and the regional gal were both very kind, filled out an incident report and moved us to the Next site West which we easily backed in to.

This place was a magical site to stay for a night. I arrived somewhat late. The river was rushing over the rocks and a light shower started. The air smelled crisp and clean. It was beautiful, quiet, and dark. The other campers were reasonable and respectful. I slept peacefully through the night and awoke to the beauty and peace once more. I would stay here forever if possible.
