The camp site was not groomed as other forest service camp grounds are. The fire pit looked like it had not been cleaned all year, full of ashes. Not raked as most camp grounds are, won't go back.

I like this place, a little more remote, none of the mammoth fifth wheels or coaches can fit. Only reason I did not give it five stars is that it is noisy beside a busy highway, and only found out they had no water after I had arrived.

The sites were clean and well taken care of, the roads and paths were as well, and the bathrooms were nice despite being vault toilets (nobody's favorite way to go to the bathroom, but these were very well managed as far as vaults go).

Another great camp here at Cold Springs this past weekend. Campground is well maintained except there is no water at this time even though the website says so...very important. I showed up at camp finding out no water due to water system failure. Besides that the host's were friendly and maintained the restrooms and sites. Beautiful views from the vista at the end of the campground is a must see.
