Our site (#026) was clean but very exposed with little to no privacy. Not the worst though as it’s back against thick woods. My only complaint was all the rude dog owners we encountered with off leash dogs in the campground and by the creek. Had one dog attack my on leash dog and I’m the one who got cussed out. Not sure if I will be returning considering how often this happened during our stay. If your dog doesn’t have a good recall DON’T LET IT OFF LEASH! I don’t care if “he’s friendly” cuz half the time THEY AREN’T. Especially in an area where it’s prohibited. Common sense people.

nice clean campground. Several first come sites that are plenty deep for our 30' travel trailer.

Beautiful location with a peaceful creek. The campsite we reserved wasn’t very private, but the campground has other spots that offer more seclusion. There’s access to the Lava Butte Trail, which was a little hard to follow at first. We had to navigate around some rocks before the path became clearer. It’s a short but steep hike—less than half a mile in, we came across what we believe was a cougar.
