Beautiful campsite! The lower loop for larger RVs has pit toilets, but it's a short walk across the street to the shower building which has conventional plumbing. There's a beautiful pedestrian bridge over a dam on that path! No cellular service either, which I consider to be a good thing.

Other than the directions to use Greg Rd. (don’t) from Belltown on your literature, our visit was great. Use River Rd. to Millstone Rd. instead! (Much better) Roomy sites & generally very quiet was perfect for us.

Large campsite with various hiking options within a short drive. The bathrooms were cleaned and stocked. Really enjoyed exploring the surrounding area!

This campground is very nice. We tent camped in the upper loop and most sites are far enough away from one another that there is a feeling of being far more secluded.
The showers and flush toilet bathrooms were clean, though closing them so early each night is ridiculous especially if one has been out on the trails all day and really needs a shower.
