This is one of the best Forest Service campgrounds that I've ever been in.

We camped here because of the location, as mid-way through our stay we took a canoe trip in the Upper Boundaries waters. One surprise: we learned they don't want the trailer left at campsites unoccupied and it would have been fine to just park it in their parking lot, which is a fairly spacious lot near a boat ramp. It would have been great to know that in advance, as it would have saved us some money. The campsites are level and extremely private due to the heavy vegetation, and in general the campground is well maintained. The main complaint we had is that campsites are electric only, which normally would have been okay until we learned they don't even have a dump station. In over 2 years of full-timing, that's the first time we've ever encountered a state or national campground without a dump station.

Volunteer hosts are so nice and helpful. Campground and bathrooms are always clean and picked up. Now if we could get rid of the sand flies we’d be in good shape!!
