One of my favorite spots. Large spaces. Quiet and somewhat private feel. Great host. No cell service.

We love this campground. It is great to be able to cool off in the creek and to hike directly from the campground in either direction on the PCT. The facilities were clean and well maintained and the campground was very quiet for the 4th of July.

The campsite was great with tons of space and privacy. I’m always looking for campsites that are on the river, this one looked like it was on the river, but the river is right across the road down a short trail. Not a problem at all, the campsite was still great.

The camp host was very friendly, and lent extra straps to hang our hammock in the trees when she saw us struggling with ours which was too short.
The forest is beautiful as always, and the creek crystal clear and gorgeous.
