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.

Absolutely adore this campground and feel so strongly that instead of exploring new campgrounds for each of our yearly camping trips, we're strongly considering making this our new, go-to space. I really hope this land doesn't get sold as I know is a risk right now, and remains the beautiful, publicly accessible land it currently is.

My group of 4 really loved this campsite. Quiet and each site is set far enough away from others to where it felt private. We loved the river access and hiking trails on the PCT (although the trailhead was hard to find). If we stay here again, Id want to book Site 28 for its river access and size of site.
