Great stay at a beautiful location. Level spots for tents, vans and trailers. Bathrooms are clean and the host helpfully. Would recommend!

Loads of wildlife! We saw lots of deer and a friendly skunk. The campground is also next to the river and a couple of horses. The rushing water provides a nice background noise. Plus, you have easy access to the Gifford house. I woke up, pet some horses, bought some firewood, and ate some pies for breakfast. Bathrooms were clean and water from fountain tasted clean and clear. The sites were a good size where you didn't feel too close to anyone.

This campground is crammed with tents and RVs. It is nice to stay in the park, but this is not the place for you if you want a bit of distance from your neighbors. Try to get a campsite closer to the river rather than backing up to the road. The facilities were clean and well maintained.

Nice setting, beautiful road to get there, nice visitor center.
No showers, bathroom okay, sites are close to one another. No electric sites.
Setting and trail out of campground are fabulous with fruit trees, deer and mountains. Nice 1 mile trail from the camp with an excellent view!! Perfect for the price!!

Nice campground with flush toilets, potable water, nearby talks by rangers, beautiful setting, fire rings, campground host. The Gifford House nearby sells tasty pies, cinnamon rolls, tchotchkes, and is a museum. All the people we encountered were very pleasant.
