Nice little campground! It was quiet and the camp hosts walk around making sure things are in order. Hot springs was an easy little hike right from the campground- they were a little washed out because the river was so high, but there were still a few pools to use. There were also little to no bugs which was super nice too! Would go again for sure! :)

Campsites were clean upon arrival, location was far enough away from highway that passing cars were muffled. Bathroom door has broken lock but we just watched out for each other. I would camp here again.

Clean campsite, pretty busy, but overall a pleasant experience. Door handle was broken on the bathroom close to the day use parking which made for some awkward moments knocking to see if someone was in there, but bathrooms were clean and well kept.

Loved this camp site. Views were outstanding, hosts were great and sites were large. Proximity to hot springs were great, but I do wish people were more open to share(they are public hot springs not your private hot spring).

Campsite was beautiful and very well maintained. Bathrooms were clean and always stocked with plenty of toilet paper. Camp hosts were nice. Trees offered a good amount of shade. Views were perfect! Milkyway visibility at night were great.

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!

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.
