Great campsite next to a beautiful river. Very rustic toilet situation and no campground host that we could find to take care of the noisy group campers.

The camp ground is full of trees, right at the base of the mountains, very nice. Our spot, #5, was not ideal. It was basically a pull off right along side, parallel to the road and not very level. The camp sites are very dusty, they need gravel layed out all around the fire pit and picnic tables. Between the three campgrounds in that area, there’s not one dump station. Also, we noticed that some of the cattle guards in the road going to the campground are busted up. Be careful driving over them with your trailer.

The area is beautiful and usually peaceful however there were campers that allowed their children to ride their 4 wheelers around and around and around the campground. These children appeared to all be very young as well. Also some decided to repeatedly fire off their weapon close by. Gone are the days campers are respectful to others and the environment.

Been camping here for decades. Seeing some wear and tear like tables needing repair or replacement but over all campsite was good. Would have liked to have had a cement fire pit but smaller metal was OK. Could have done without pistol target practice shooting nearby. Too close to campground and scared the kids. Is this practice done within the campground? If not, why is it allowed even just outside?

Very beautiful camp ground! Our fire ring in spot 002 was too close to the trees for comfort and we couldn't surround it like normal. The vault toilets ran out of paper and it wasnt replaced, but we brought our own. The site was huge and far enough away from the other sites that it didn't feel cramped like a lot of sites. I would go back, just picking a different site, as the rest had good fire pit areas.

The campground itself was ok, though cows did often walk through it. Note that site 8 is incorrectly labeled, it definitely is not a pull through, and you would struggle to get more than a single small;mid size rv in.

Quiet area, close to the restrooms & water spigot.
Not far from Defas dude ranch & the river for fishing.
