The camp Host, Donna, was extremely friendly and helpful. I loved the hikes near by and the waterfalls upriver were gorgeous.

Ohara was our favorite stop on our 16-day trip through the area. There is so much to do, so much to see. So much hiking, and biking. We'll be back to Raft. The campsite was amazing, clean and beautiful.

I got an email confirming my reservation two days prior. Then headed out but upon arrival the road was closed due to a rock slide and had been closed for a while. I was never informed of the fact. The Rec.gov support team was helpful and timely, but it took a couple weeks for my requested refund to be issued by the Facility Manager. But I did get my camping fees refunded. Better communication from the Facility Manager and more timely notifications from either the Facility Manager and/or Rec.gov cru would have saved me a trip and the disappointment.
