The camp Host was available, helpful, and informative. I would give it 5 stars, but our picnic table was super low to the ground and covered in spiderwebs underneath, so we didn't use it, which was a hassle. It looks as though they are redoing the tables, but perhaps they haven't gotten to site four yet. But you can't beat the view and sounds of the river, so it made up for it. There was a problem with the water at the entire campground on the last night and morning of our visit. But again, the camp host did everything he could to be informative and accommodating, letting us know we could still get water at the main pump. so I really can't complain; I understand that things happen. The bathrooms were clean and had flushing toilets, which was a plus.

Showed up to our campsite, we were right in the middle of a bunch of families with little kids. We had two trucks and had confirmed with host that we could park two vehicles in the site and we could not. Poor advertising on the website stating it’s a camp on the river site. Pulled in and immediately left. Waste of money.

Small campground with only 8 tent-only sites (more for RV sites). But, each site is fairly spacious and half of them are right next to the Applegate River (with access to the river). Only one central bathroom, but it has flush toilets and electric lights. Not much privacy across the 8 tent sites, but when I stayed there, I was the only camper, so enjoyed super solitude and peaceful landscape. Good road to get to the entrance. About 30 min. to drive to Jacksonville where there are a gazillion hiking trails, and about 50 min. to the Nature Conservancy's Table Rock Trail.

- 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.
