Clean bathrooms and campsites. Camp host very friendly. Lowman Ponds aren't too far up the road and a great place to take the family fishing for rainbow trout. Sourdough Lodge offers great diner food, if you're wanting a night off from cooking. They're located across the main road from the ponds.

Always enjoyable to camp right on the river. It was fast and loud this early in the year.
No phone, no wi-fi.
The camp host is doing a great job of keeping everything neat and clean.

My family and I stayed at your park as part of a family reunion. The weather was great, being on the river even better for floating and cooling off. The facilities were clean and well kept. Thank You.
