Super clean campground with plenty of room for trailer and a tent or two.

We were really disappointed when we arrived at this camp site. The foilage was over grown and there wasn't a creek, but a stream that you could barely even get to. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting, they were full, out of toilet paper and smelled so bad you couldn't even walk in them for more than a few seconds. The forest Rangers that came through twice were teenagers and rude. We ended up leaving and going and finding another spot that we could enjoy as a family. Don't waste your money, nor go off of the pictures.

We had a wonderful time at Edna Creek. It was nice to be away from all the hustle and bustle that you get with the more known campsites. The kids had a fun time playing in the creek and exploring the trails.

More camp sites and quieter than expected. Still a love place to spend a few nights in the mountains

Website pictures look nothing like the site. Stream was completely covered with weeds and bathrooms were absolutely HORRID. We reserved sites and left to another campsite, causing us to lose our deposits. Don't waste your money if you can't visit ahead of time don't reserve based on
website.

Love campsite #9, we reserved #8 & #9 & #10 for one of the nights. It is right near a creek. We went in the heat of summer and it was a great place to go sit and just cool off. Plus at night you could hear the water while you were sleeping. It was so peaceful. The campsite is very clean with distance between the campsite to the left #11. Great trails to hike to explore the beautiful scenery. The outhouse/bathroom was the only hiccup with this site. We were there for 4 days and no one came and maintained it. It was a very busy camping area. Toilet paper ran out very quickly and the smell was unbearable each day at a certain time of day. The morning was okay until around 9am, then the smell literally was making people gag until around noon, then the smell would be tolerable again.

#10 Small but flat campsite which makes it great for people that have a tough time with the incline or decline of hills and also great for campers.

#8 was a great site for our larger portion of our group. The 2 large picnic tables and 2 areas for our camping stoves was perfect for us to prepare meals for a big group. The site is clean. We even had space to play games as a family. We were able to fit all the tents we needed. This site parks 4 cars easily. We were very excited about having a trail connected to the site so we could go explore. The downside to having that trail directly connected to the site was that every day, twice a day there was a guided tour of people riding horses and donkeys feet from our picnic tables and right up against our cars. Leaving horse/donkey poop in our site near were we ate and played and near where we had to go to access our vehicles. We had brought our dogs with us and even though they were leashed up this absolutely created anxiety moments for them, us and the horses. We also often encountered mountain bikers coming off of the trail into our campsite so fast that 2 of them slid down the incline, wiping out into our picnic table and almost taking our my grandson. They appeared to be startled by out dogs on the leashes and lost control. There really isn't a lot of space for them or the horses to be maneuvering between the rocks and our vehicles and the rocks and the tents and picnic tables. There needs to be a safer way for all to have this much traffic going through campsite #8.

Loved the updated sites and facility.
But the boulder placement at site entrances make it difficult to back a trailer into and even to pull out of the Site when leaving.
Especially difficult is site #2 at Edna Creek .
