Loudest music I’d ever heard in a public campground and dogs left alone at the site next door wanted off leash and attacked those of passerby’s. What is the world is wrong with people? USFS staff were receptive and understanding, and working hard to keep the place up and running. Be sure to thank them.

had a grea time with my church family during this weekend. The only downside is that the water levels are nowhere near where they used to be, and that took away from the beauftufaction of the campground

campsite was level and clean, restroom looked clean . host did not seem to be on site , saw rangers in camp area which was good , site length restrictions could be advertised because the entrance to sites are not angled too much . multiple sites for family group of 3 or more should be directed to group camping ,dump station didnt work and there was no one to notify

Level, graveled, spacious campsite...warm showers and bathroom were very short walk from our site...we didnt have time for the hike to the falls but did walk to the concrete pond. Great how they have it set up with sand on one side like you were on the beach! Would definitely camp there again!

The campground during our weekly visit was pretty quiet. The sites were well maintained. The reservation/occupancy tags on the sites had not been updated for a few days, and there was no host to verify any open sites. However we had a reservation and all was well. Restrooms were adequately cleaned.
