Very spacious. Site 21 could easily fit at least 3 tents and 2 cars. It is close to the restrooms and had a full firepit/grill set up and 2 tables. Would stay here again.

Lovely, secluded campground with a great hike next to the river from the lower falls to the middle and upper falls. Only downside is the road in and out is extremely rough and full of potholes. Beware!

We stayed in site 7 of the lower loop. The lower loop is way better than the upper loop. Its a very short distance to lower falls and the trail head. The lower loop has two vault toilets, site 7 is close to it which has pros and cons. We absolutely love this campground. No cell service, no water on site, about 30 minutes from the nearest amenities at Eagle Cliff Store/Campground - the store is small, seasonal, and has camping essentials stocked. It has ice and ice cream as well. The camp hosts this year were amazing, kept the vault toilets very clean. Two concerns about this site is that this year: 1. So many people park at the day use area and up the road where they are not supposed to, no regulation on this and so the lower falls are flooded with people swimming and being rowdy. 2. The road coming in, literally the last 5-10 minutes of the drive, is extremely washed out, rough, bumpy, with huge dips. We got several emails from Rec.gov warning us ahead of time and gave us the opportunity for a refund, which is nice. We normally tow a pop-up camper on my Rav 4 but if we had taken it this year the tow hitch would have bottomed out. I highly recommend 4 wheel drive and a vehicle that is a little more lifted than the average commuter.

Amazing camping spot! The scenery is beautiful, it’s peaceful, and we had a great time. The road wasn’t nearly as bad as many reviews make it sound—we had no trouble getting there.

Be aware that there is absolutely no cell service, so it’s best to plan ahead.

My only suggestion would be to add sinks and running water at the restrooms. Other than that, this place is absolutely stunning, and we’d definitely come back!

Beautiful campground with clean outhouses. Unfortunately we camped next to a group of young adults that didnt know how to be respectful to their neighbors after quite time. With no park host in the park to enforce the rules our hands were tied with situation. We were unable to sleep and left with a few other campers the next morning. I probably will not be back.
