It felt like we were camping at an apartment complex. Tons of people, an odd public pool, and children shouting and screaming. There were so many people crammed in there. It was loud as people were constantly walking around, shouting, and riding their ATVs. You drive up towards Cascade and see absolute beauty everywhere with the trees, the mountains, and the river. Then you go on this very long dirt road thinking the campground must be equally as regal. When you arrive at the campground, and find your space, it is cramped, crowded, and the “creek” is more like a tiny stream. Obviously we were very disappointed and won’t be returning.

Love, spring creek, campground. Paved roads, no dust, people are always polite. Love having the Hot Springs resort nearby and the little store. Always my first camping of the year.

What a wonderful place! The campground is clean and beautiful. We stayed at V08 which is right on the river. There is plenty of shade and easy to back in spaces. The hot springs are so fun - they have light snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. There’s even a small mercantile for last minute grocery items. The staff is lovely - they are so nice and friendly. We chatted daily about fun things to see close by and fishing - they are the best!! 10/10!!
