Campground is very old and not well maintained. My picnic table was rotted through. Many campsites require steps or embankment from parking area. I liked that it is remote and not overly crowded.

The first day we got there the bathroom were dead nasty, next day they got a lil better. The sites are intimate close to each other (you can breath what the person next to you in breathing. The outside street is super close so you can hear everything thats happening and everything that goes by. The river is wonderful. On the week days is mostly empty but on the weekends is too full. They also book otger people on top of your booking. The campgrounds need love, the street is broken and the grass is super long. If you want to stay do it on the week days you get more privacy.

Tent pads are small, if you have a huge tent it won’t fit. A normal 4 person is fine. Loved the trail to the creek. Loved being close to town.

Rocky Bluff is a wonderful place to enjoy some quiet time. Only about half of the tent sites are open for use but it has been that way for several years now, budget cuts I suppose. But it is a beautiful area to explore. Spring Creek is a short hike and is a good place to fish. The are trails are fairly easy to manuever. On the down side my cell phone got absolutely no service but my friend who has Verizon had no issues. I love this place. I have been coming here for around ten years now. It's my happy place.

Due to Covid, staffing is limited and the bathroom, while well aerated, was in serious disorder. We opted to avoid the bathroom. We packed in and out our trash as requested on one small sign (on the bulletin board but not at the trash cans). The sites themselves are great although our fire ring was rusted out. All in all it is a small quiet campground and I would stay there again.
