The campgrounds were nice. We just picked the wrong time to stay there. We thought there wouldn't be many people there and we got stuck next to some campers with very loud kids until 11pm and the people never stopped talking. We were also hoping to at least see a black bear and we didnt

Paved RV sites in a variety of lengths; most are back in, but a few are pull-thru. The electric and water connections we observed were in good condition. Two negatives: The roads in the campground have extremely nasty speed bumps; There is only one road in and it is narrow with steep grades, very sharp curves, and extreme drop-offs.

Great little campground. Clean bath house with great showers. 30amp sites are short, but the lengths are listed in the reservation system. Pay attention to lengths. 50 amp sites are a little longer.
Great access to several trails near by and the mining town was a good visit.

Nice small campground. I love that the dish washing sink for tent campers is well maintained. The bear boxes to store coolers and food stuff is a big convenience.

We enjoyed our stay here. Site had a downward slope at the entrance but with a smaller camper you can level out at the end near the hookups. It had water and power and a dump station. Campground was near the Blue Heron mine community area and near the 6 1/2 mile Blue Heron Loop Trail. It was clean and quiet in October. There wasn't a camp host and I never saw any staff, maybe due to the federal shutdown, but everything was clean and maintained.

Policies & Rules
General
- Black bears and other wildlife frequent this campground. Please keep in mind that “food” to a bear includes any item with a scent, regardless of packaging. This may consist of items that you do not consider food, such as canned goods, horse feed, bottles, drinks, soaps, cosmetics, toiletries, trash, ice chests (even when empty), and unwashed items used for preparing or eating meals. All these items must be stored properly. --Secure coolers, grills, cooking utensils, horse feed, any food not in use, and anything with food odors inside the locked compartment of a vehicle or trailer or a bear proof storage locker if available. Food storage lockers each measure approximately 29" deep x 38" wide x 43" tall. --Wipe off picnic tables and grills. Properly discard aluminum foil used for cooking. --Avoid burning garbage in fire rings because it will leave behind grease and food scraps. --Always discard all garbage in wildlife proof trash cans or dumpsters. Keep a clean campsite. --Do not hang garbage from lantern poles. Following these guidelines will keep you from getting your property confiscated from your campsite. We appreciate your cooperation.
