This quickly became our favorite “local area” campground! We can’t wait to go back again.

Camp hosts were amazing! Barb and Cory, I believe their names were, were very helpful and caring when we had an issue with our trailer when we first got there. And...the bathrooms were kept very clean!

It was beautiful and serene. I had an amazing time watching the river flow right off the Campground. Waking up to the silence of nature with the light noise of the water and rustle of the leaves was life changing. I had the overwhelming pleasure of watching some snails much on leaves off the trail while hanging around the campsite!

Nice, generally quiet campground with lots of families located right along the river. There are plenty of campspots away from the river so no need to worry about young kids. Make sure to check out the natural "refrigerator" behind the old guard house.

Cory and Barb were friendly, accommodating, and a real pleasure to work with. Our family has been going to the Cispus for 40 years and this couple was the best yet. All 30 of us agree that we would like to see them again next year because they are the kind of people we would like to invite to be around our campfire.

Campground was clean, outhouses were cleaned regularly and the campground hosts, Barb & Cory were the BEST we have ever had in the last 33 years of coming to North Fork for our family reunion.

Great obscure campground on the Cispus River. Only 19 sites and very quiet and clean - best pit toilets ever - very clean, accessible and best of all doesn’t smell. Plenty of water spouts. RV space for rigs about 24 ft or smaller - no hook-ups. Shaded sites. Great camp hosts as well.

This campground was relaxing and quiet over the July 4th weekend. The campground was well taken care of and the bathrooms were hands down the cleanest campground bathrooms I have ever been in. Site 7 is a pull-thru site with a path down the hill to the waterfront section of the site. There was lots of room for my tent and hammock.

What a beautiful campground! We camped with two of our adult kids and their spouses and our four grandchildren. The camp was quiet except for the birds and the rapid flowing river, which we found to be quite soothing. The campground was clean as were the bathrooms. Camp hosts Barb and her husband were so friendly and obviously take pride in maintaining this lovely place. The little grandkids had a blast riding bikes and playing among the trees. We'll definitely consider camping here again!
