This is our go to camping spot, our happy place. We love this campground because the owner is amazing, we love Ben and having the company of his son playing with our boys. We come up multiple times a year for 2+ nights, usually 3. The campground is always clean and put together. The location is perfect- love to be able to walk across the tiny country road to the river or just to be able to sit and enjoy the Mountain View’s around a fire. Everything you need is in a reasonable drive. We know the area pretty well, as a family we’ve been coming to the campground for 4 years and counting. My husband has been coming to the area for over 20 years. Local food places are family friendly. And honestly, if you have a question, ask Ben! Will continue to come here all the time.

Great campground! Our family really enjoyed our stay here. At night it’s really peaceful. We heard bugling morning and evening hours and coyotes at night. We did see 2 Bull Elks in the campground during our stay.

The hosts of the campground were the nicest people I have ever met. My son is 7 years old and autistic, doesn’t have the greatest behavior lol. But they made me feel really comfortable having him there which unfortunately, we have been to a few campgrounds and I can tell they just didn’t understand Joey and it made me feel like we were a bother.

We will definitely be back!

Lovely location by the river, nice friendly owner.
There isn't any shower and the toilets are 2 portopotties. The water provided was delicious spring water.
The big highlight of our stay was the 2 wild elk we saw in the morning!

We called to see if there were any spots available as we were driving through. They had one spot left and we took it. The campground is very scenic right on the creek. The host was extremely friendly. We hope to come back and spend more time there instead of just an overnight.
