This is a quaint little campground that is perfect for a little get away. The sites are small but accommodating, with a fire pit and campground charcoal grill. Rest rooms are a short jot up the hill with flushing toilets and running water. There is a nice swimming hole just a hop, skip, and jump away. There is a hiking trail that takes you up river where there are plenty of fishing holes. I would recommend bringing your bug spray because the mosquitoes come out around dusk. Our favorite time to camp here is spring or fall. Looking forward to our next trip.

My 3rd time here and its still a great escape that's still close to home. Camp host was friendly and was ready to do anything to make our stay better. He told us not to rush on the morning of check out and told us we could stay a couple hrs longer if we wanted which was pretty cool. River access was beautiful too!

Wonderful small campground next to the Applegate River. About half the sites have views of the river, but there are nice, easy to follow river paths available to all. I found the host to be pleasant and very helpful.

Easily accessible campground. Picnic tables and campground road are somewhat tired. Few vehicles on the roads, quiet. Wooded setting close enough to Applegate River to hear soothing riffles. Very nice bathroom: clean, spacious, overhead heat. Some trails that petered out.

Such a beautiful area to camp at. The camping spots are right next to the river, they have trails that lead to little beaches with some sand even. The bathrooms are very clean and nice. No showers. The host is friendly and has the 2 most adorable cats😂 they wear vests with spikes on them. They make great security servicers ❤️

The new camp host, Phil is doing such a great job of keeping the place nice! Bathrooms were mopped and stocked, they even had soap for the first time in years! Makes a huge difference to have someone that takes the time to not just welcome everyone but make the place welcoming as well!

- Don't Move Firewood: Please protect Pacific Northwest forests by preventing the spread of invasive species. Firewood can carry insects and diseases that can threaten the health of our western forests. You can make a difference by obtaining and burning your firewood near your camping destination. Visit Dontmovefirewood.org for further information.
- Cancellations: Recreation.gov collects an $8 reservation fee, which is non-refundable. The campsite cancellation fee is a flat $10 for your entire reservation. EXAMPLE: if you booked (2) nites at $30 per nite, your total camping fee would be $68. If you cancelled at least 48-hours prior to your reservation arrival, your refund would be: $68-$8-$10 = $50 net refund. If you late cancel (within 48-hr of your arrival), you will also forfeit the first-nite camping fee. In this same example, you would be refunded: $68-$8-$10-$30 = $20 net refund. Processing refunds is time-consuming & expensive for the facility, and we potentially will not refill your camping spot. This loses revenue for the facility due to your situation & circumstances changing. The Facility is NOT responsible for acts of God / weather / fire-restrictions / smoke / or other things outside the control of the facility. Thanks for your understanding.
