Nice campground, clean and lovely. The road through this campground is very narrow, and A little tricky to back into. But doable. But the app that you make reservations through has been troublesome to me several times. I wanted to add a day to this reservation, and was not able to. Even though it was available. I tried extending my reservation, and I tried just making a new reservation for that night, I could not get either one to work. Very annoying.

Nice spot. Close to creek. Camped at #8 which had plenty of space for a 10 man tent. Will do #6 next time, since it has more trees. Prior comments indicated "bad road", but looks like it had been grated since.

There was bear activity in the area so the Area Manager (Bruce) placed me at a nearby campground proactively and had everything set. The Cascade Campground he placed me in was great and the site was really nice. The Campground Hosts were also great and made sure I was set at the new location. The measure of a team isn't when things go right, it's when the unexpected happens and they met the challenge easily. Thanks!

Beautiful campground, quiet with little noise from highway.
Beware that East Side Road is in really bad shape. It's never been an amazing road, but since the flood I don't think it has been easy to get maintenance done. Many DEEP and unavoidable potholes. When we arrived at the campground, the back camper struts were twisted and one bump caused us to bottom out and sliced the trailer towing electrical cords. Wouldn't recommend taking a camper back here unless it's rated for off road.
