We had site 1 as you come in and it was a great site except not much shade in the afternoon to early evening. It was very quiet and private and the view was glorious. The campgrounds themselves were kept clean and tidy and the vaulted toilet always had tp. I would book again.

The campground was very clean an well maintained. Far enough from the road that you rarely heard vehicle traffic, but close enough for easy access. The hike to the river and hot springs was short and moderately easy.

We had such a great time! The campground itself is pretty average with not a lot of tree cover or privacy between campsites but being so close to the river and hot springs made it well worth the drive. Definitely check out the hot springs, just a short hike down along the river. Many of the sites had NO shade between 2 pm and 5 pm which was the hottest part of the day so bring something to make your own shade or prepare to hide out down by the river for a few hours. Overall a great experience!

Perfect spot. Secluded but still has bathroom close by, right off the highway and walking distance to river and hot springs. We lucked out and had hardly any bugs.

We had reserved our site but someone was in it when we got there and the camp didn’t even know we were coming and she did nothing about them being in our site so we had to find another site for our camper. We went to the river but the pathway has not been cleared or made safe at all. Lots of people but everyone was friendly. Not much to look at since the surrounding hillsides are still just toothpicks sticking out of the ground from the Pioneer Fire several years ago. Overall it was ok.

This campground is a little hot during the day, but it's pretty spacious and does have more shade than many other options. Some of the sites have great flat areas for tents, some are clearly better for trailers. The hot springs here is a walk and it's not easy to get too (my parents could not have done it), but once you get there, it's a gorgeous place with several pools in different locations and cascading hot water. We loved it!
