Bathroom aren’t clean or flushing toilets. The campground was clean. Pretty quiet while we were there. No sewer or water at our site. Not bad if your just passing through the area and need to rest.

The site we stayed in was right next to a bunch of homeless methheads. It seems to be a growing problem down there.

We had an overall positive experience. The WiFi wasn’t the best. The Bathrooms need touchups on painting. Tree leaves where everywhere and weren’t addressed until our last day as we were leaving.

Shower house is extremely dilapidated. Their is only so much you can do as far as house keeping. Only 2 out of 5 showers were working with the park almost full of campers. Overall condition is nasty. I have been coming there since 1976 and have never seen it that bad. Trail conditions have greatly deteriorated and most are professional riders only ,definitely not family friendly any more. Downhill portions drop straight off and are completely washed out, they should have switchbacks and be rideable to children and adults alike. Hope this downturn is reversible nowhere to go but up.

The shower house is in need of repair. Two of the 4 showers are not open. The outhouses actually smelled better than the actual restrooms. The family play area for kids is really small and getting to where the tree roots are really rough in the area. It would be nice if there was a long easy trail for family rides.
