Not maintained. Grass around campsites and restrooms had not been mowed in a very long time. The road has huge potholes or better word would be craters . The area is beautiful I always enjoy the mountains and spring creek is one of my favorite places but the campground which was once very nice is now falling apart.

quiet and clean campground. There were an abundance of tent platforms and fire rings terraced into one side of the hill (way more than the number of reserve-able tent sites) and it was fun to explore. It was a little bit warm and still since the campground is in a ravine, and the mosquitos made their presence known. ~5 min drive from hot springs. Would stay here again when in the area.

I don’t really want to tell people about this place. It was so serene. No hook ups which means no ridiculously large RVs and pick up trucks and noise and TVs and madness. Small sites perfect for a large tent or in my case a small teardrop camper and a tent on the side that was just amazing. Drive through the mountains to Knoxville is also worth a million dollars.

Seems obvious that the forest service is letting this one go. Campfire pits decaying. Guess there are reasons for the gate lock issue I have been coming there for years. Had a great campground host. Really great spot. Seems a shame
