The campground is nice. We stayed in spot 1&2. The space to setup the tents were a bit small and 8 person tent. The bathroom was very smelly and is an older style. Overall though, it was a good stay. Especially for the price. Would stay again.

This is the first and only time we've ever had a bad experience at a State Park Campground. The campground was very difficult to locate, and once we found it, our site was so small and so overgrown with grass we could barely pull in. Additionally, it was right on the highway.

We went down the road to the KOA and stayed there.

The road noise was minimal as there wasn't much traffic. The sites do need some maintenance to cut down the tall grass to set up tents. The creek does have a couple access spots which is nice.

This was a beautiful campground; however, the sites were a little small, there was a bit of road noise, and when we visited, the bathroom was out of order due to vandalism.

Terrible experience. My family and I camp a lot and this is the worst campground we've stayed at. Our site (#3) was overgrown and not flat for setting up a tent. The restroom was "closed due to vandalism" so we had to drive into town to use the restroom. I would not ever book a site at this campground again.

The latrine at the campground was closed due to vandalism. Instead of the USFS providing portable toilets or closing the campground all together, they left it unkept. There was human feces and toilet paper along the stream, around the closed latrine, and in various nooks by other campsites. Our camper was self contained and we were, fortunately, far away from the dumping grounds.

The campground appears to no longer maitained. It has been great for the previous 3 years, but not this year. Multiple sites have been over grown with brush and the toilets on the east end have been vandalized amd are no longer open. The other end of the camp does have an older bathroom facilty that is usable but it is a walk to get to it and you share one toilet with the entire campground.

The campsite is not being maintained properly. The table was rotted and broken, vegetation growing everywhere. The site is simply not being taken care of with love!

Really great campsite! It's small so it fit me and one other person really well (just enough room for a tent and my car). It could fit another tent so you could fit up to eight people, but it might get squishy. Really pretty site and a lot of wood lying around to use for a firepit. Toilets were good enough - as good as outhouses can get. No drinking water available, but if you bring your own water it works just fine.

Quiet campground once the nearby highway traffic dies down. Clean and no issues while we were there
