Closest to the hot springs trail, further up on hill and away from most other campers. Nice flat driveway

This campsite was lovely. Just a short trek down to the river and a 10 minute walk to the hot springs. The campground was well taken care of.
No cell reception made for a nice quiet time.

Unknown to us, our site was a double site. Other occupants were unfriendly and threatening. We left after about 30 minutes.

It was a great overall campground however, i have maultiple concerns for spot one. It only has one good spot of shade which is tolerable but the fire ring was rusted out the bottom and dry plants were creeping closer and closer to the fire pit causing a massive fire danger. If the forest service doesnt want a wildfire, they would definitely want to fix this issue asap

Unfortunately, it was one of the hottest days there this year and the campsite is up on a hill, away from the river. Also, a fire had gone through at some point so the view was of bare hills with dead trees. I am disabled and could not walk down to the hot springs, but most folks would be able to do so and it would likely change the experience. We moved up the road after a few days and found a wonderful campsite right on the river.

Camp hosts were great. First day we were there there was no toilet paper in the pit toilets. Garbage was overflowing the cans. Camp tables are in desperate need of repair. Some even had rebar sticking out which was an obvious hazard.
