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 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!

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 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.

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.

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.
