Nice clean camp. A good amount of shade. Clean rest rooms. Easy to get to. Different sizes of sites to accommodate different sizes of outfits. Small hot spring 1/4 mile walk away. Hot spring requires a bit of climbing to access. Hot spring was very popular with day-trippers. I would return to Pine Flats during the week. It is very busy on weekends and usually fully reserved months in advance.

The site is easy to access, very kept up, and clean. Has water, bathrooms and 5 min hike access to a rather large sequence hot springs. River runs directly below the site. Great for just overnight, or couple days. Impressed with how kept up and monitored the site was.

We had an amazing time at this site! There were quite a few areas that are still recovering from a fire, but it didn't ruin our trip. We tried going to the hot spring tub that was a little higher up, but it was very too treacherous for our small kids. Just a word of caution. Lots of lizards, snakes, and bugs for our kids to catch - they had a blast!!! We'll definitely go back. If you are there during summer months, i would advise bringing a tent shade in case your site has burned out trees or not much shade.

Good cool weather camping, but wouldn't stay here when it's hot out as there is very little shade due to all the trees that have been cut down.

Also the camp host let campers run their generators all night long. Not fun sitting by the campfire and having to listen to generators all night long. Finally went to bed close to midnight with them still rolling along.

Enjoyed the location, plenty of room between campers, close to bathroom. The hike to the hot pools is pretty technical for people using canes. We drove up to Kirkham for hot pools. Locations near the river are best. We did not have these as we needed two together. Really enjoyed the place. Easy to walk around.
