Unexpectedly great CG. Stayed weekdays and it was very quiet with little traffic. Our site was especially shady which was welcome during the hot weather. Clean, restrooms especially clean, convenient trash cans, bear boxes, massive nice picnic tables. Only negative was the speed bumps - watch out, those things are serious; but they serve a good purpose..

It was one of the cleanest camps I have been to. The bathrooms were super clean and always stocked. There were no over flowing garbage. There was not garbage along the road or trails. It was beautiful. The camp hosts were very nice and clearly cared for the camp very well. Thank you

Nice campground! The paved roads are great for holding down the dust. The clean water stations are numerous so you're close from any camp site.

Small campground, good amount of privacy between campsites, nice water access. The camp hosts were super nice, and were constantly working. I would like to commend the hosts and Forest Service for maintaining the campground despite all the staffing and budget cuts by the current administration.

We had a pleasant 2-night stay! About site 3 - its a very large site that sits next to the host and to the road in, but neither detracted from our experience. It's a slightly inclined parking area but our 19' trailer and truck fit perfectly and actually provided some privacy from site 4 across from us. There a short walk to the vault toilets either direction but this site (and site 4) are probably the longest distance from them. To get to the beach is a few minute walk - make sure you wear swim shoes or sandals, it is rocky and the water is fairly shallow for a good distance out. Still a nice swim spot. Overall, it's a nice weekend getaway (within cell service).

The campground was well maintained, and the hosts were friendly. It is right next to the river and during the hot days, we enjoyed the water.
