Great campsite. Bathrooms could have used a little cleaning. Shower definitely needed some cleaning. Other than that everything was great.

We originally booked site 12 because it said there was a water hook-up. There wasn't, so we booked the next night on site 8 and it was great! We hiked on a nearby trail and it was quiet and peaceful.

Nice, quiet campground. Easy assess to Card Creek and Elk City River for fishing.

Everything was awesome, the campsites were well maintained and the campground with exception of the shower- it needed a good cleaning. The campground host Jay Thompson was very helpful and informative!
