Nice campground. Clean restrooms. Most campsites well distanced from one another (although a few are not). Location is great for exploring the southern Gifford Pinchot.

The bathrooms were quite clean despite being vault toilets. The campsites were well spaced apart that you won’t be looking at your neighbor constantly for most of the sites. The only downside was that we got water from the water pump there and it was murky and slightly tinged brown, likely from rust. The creek water nearby looked drastically more safe to drink…made us a little uncomfortable using it

A lovely campsite with lots of privacy. Clean toilets. Access to a beautiful clear, cold creek with lots of interesting stones. Nearby trails, fish hatchery, waterfalls and a couple of towns with restaurants and shops.
Tent pads(not as level as I’d like), picnic tables and a sturdy firepit with a hinged grill grate.
Lots of birds, butterflies, and wildflowers at midsummer when we were there.

Site 10 was very sunny, but still private from other sites. Nice tent set up area and close access to necessities like bathroom and water, as well as walking distance to creek. Must see Panther Creek Falls; only a ten minute drive away!

The sites are large and spread out, which is nice. We couldn’t hear other campers at all. Facilities were clean. Creek is really pretty.
