There were too many campground hosts that seem to be permanently in place and their campsites were an eye sore. The area was great and relaxing.

The campground was terrific. Rate it a 5 for friendly staff. Bathrooms cleaned at least twice daily. I stayed in first loop site 5 next to bathhouse. The creek was beautiful. Firewood on site for sale. Very reasonable price. Bears are in the area! The only negative comment is when I explained to the staff that I was moving on to my next location they talked about the location was horrible. It turned out that it was a very decent place and enjoyed it very much.

Really nice campground, there are a ton of hosts on site, most were nice but one was not. If you want to move sites they are not flexible, you cannot move to an open unreserved site without eating the full cost. This was our first time here. Front loops are essentially an RV park and people run generators all day. Some of the sites are full sun. We had one of those and moved to a FCFS site in loop 5. If you are a tent camper would recommend booking back there, sites are all shaded and it's over the river so there is no noise from all the RVs. Bummer they let all the RVs in, based on other reviews these used to not be allowed and it would really be an amazing place without all the generators in the front.
