It was great! Clean and organized campground even in the off-season. Bathrooms were great, and access to water was nice.

We arrived around 10pm to find someone in our reserved space. The issue was not due to any fault of the camper. Our crew had two sites booked and neither were noted with a reserved sign. Super frustrating but thankfully the person was a good sport, we ended up letting them use the space with us rather than move. End up fine but heads up if you are reserving a space here.

Great campground and site...0% light pollution and no cellphone coverage, which is how we prefer it...all of the leaves were blown off our site and there was a new roll of TP in the bathroom...definitely coming back

My best friend and I camp at this campground twice a year and it is always amazing. Absolutely no phone/internet service so it allows you to disconnect from the world. Plenty to do(trails/water) or not do(relax). I am always telling people about this campground. Highly recommend!

First time in the area and it was absolutely beautiful...we were looking to see Comet Lemmon and the skies didn't disappoint...no light pollution, no cell reception, and total quiet made for the perfect getaway...will be returning next month for the Leonoid Meteor Shower peak and can't wait

I really enjoyed this small campground! I had site 2 and was tucked into a corner alongside the Obed River. The tent pad was quite large and I had privacy on all sides except the driveway. Pit toilets were very clean. There are trees between the site and the water, but there is a short path to access the river. Loved hearing the sound of a flowing river all weekend.
