It was a great campground! Clean, quiet, and host was always making his rounds. However, it was crazy that the tables and fire pits are on the opposite side of the camper trailers. It was frustrating and our only complaint that they were not designed well for trailers. Perfect for tents that can set up anywhere.

Our stay was amazing!! We stayed on site #5. This is probably the most private site. Large pull in. Fit my 26ft camper and truck with tons of room left over. This is probably the cleanest campground I’ve ever been to. The bathrooms were incredibly clean!! The camp host Joe takes great pride in making sure all the guests have a great experience. He makes sure the campground remains a family friendly place where everyone feels safe and welcome. Make sure and thank him for all he does for this campground. He’s an outstanding gentleman. The forest service is incredibly lucky to have a camp host like him!!

Beautiful wooded area on a small river. Very helpful camp host, but no wood for sale. Not many big rig sites.
