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.

Quiet and pleasant. I was concerned that I’d hear the highway but it was rare that highway noise cut through the creek in May. I had the whole campground to myself for one day, but even when others arrived there was a sense of privacy.

The road in is in rough condition. No road signs to help you know where to turn off the main road, and it looks like you are driving onto private property.
The campsite didn't have a tent location, and the area to put a tent has a bunch of Thistle growing in it.
The camp host is located at a nearby camp ground, and is very kind and helpful.

Nice place, but: never saw a host and couldn’t find one when I wanted to report a theft of a cordless drill and accessories from my camp. Seems the Montana campers next to us just couldn’t leave other people’s stuff alone. There was also a lot of pipe crud in the drinking water. We will not stay there again.
