The campsites were clean and well covered. Access to the river was wonderful. Unfortunately the sites are too close to the road. This was especially annoying due to a nearby logging operation. It was loud at night and even louder in the morning.

When we got to site, that we reserved, someone else was in our spot. After showing my reservations and speaking with them they ended up switching to a different spot. It would be great to have a reservation sign on the site when it’s reserved.

Really nice campground with a beautiful creek. Dumpsters provided for trash. You do have to walk a bit from your car, from about 10 ft to 50 yards depending on which campsite.

Site 7 was pretty good!
It’s closer to the road than some other sites but traffic wasn’t too busy or loud, almost no cars between 10pm-5am.
The river spot is a short and easy hike, though some stairs and uneven ground so if you’re expecting accessibility, it’s not here for you.
The site was clean and the parking lot was easy to navigate. The vault toilets were a bit neglected, definitely bring your own toilet paper and hand sanitizer and use caution, the door is not easy to lock and there is no light inside, a lantern or headlight is strongly advised even during daylight hours, it is dark in there with the door closed.
Trash receptacle near the parking lot was very nice and helped ensure easy cleanup during checkout (11am!)
Would come back, but might not be the best campground for unseasoned campers, those with mobility issues, or those seeking a really dispersed camping experience. You will definitely see your neighbors from your site, but not necessarily make eye contact or feel crowded here.
