This was our first time using a pay site campground and we really did enjoy our stay. Typically we go camping in more remote areas but decided to give this area a try. We were pleasantly surprised by this facility. Clean, quite and beautiful. The pool was clean and well kept. Although the water wasn't as hot as I prefer. But, I'm one of those people who likes the scalding hot! This was all in all a great experience.

The forest service road to the campground was terrible. The campground was great! Clean, spots are far enough apart for privacy, bathrooms are clean. Walking distance to the hot springs. If it wasn't for the road that nearly shook my RV apart, I would have gave this campground an "excellent." I don't get why the forest service only grades their roads once or twice a year...

Peace Loop site 14 was just right for us with a 21 ft trailer. The site was mostly level (one block on the passenger side) and has the creek just a few feet away. The campground was quiet and water was available to fill up once we made the trip up the hill.
