Camp sites are well separated. Very private. Good location, just outside of Carson. Well kept. Clean bathrooms.

Such a great campground. I loved the easy access to Carson. Check out Panther Creek Falls if you're looking for an awesome hike in the area. Also highly recommend Backwoods Brewery if you're into that scene!

Early season stay, campground was in great shape and host is friendly, organized and knowledgeable. Since there are not very many sites in this campground it stays pretty quiet and the sites are very spread out, you're not super close to another site.

The sites are all enclosed with trees and you don't easily see or here the other sites unless you are on the road. There are some great spots on the water and plenty of area to walk in camp. I liked not having cell service too. The PCT runs right through camp so you can easily hike some if you want. I will for sure go back.
