I guess I didn’t know this going in, but this seems to be kind of a rowdy party campground. Multiple sites playing music on speakers well past one, two AM. If it was just one site doing this I would have complained, but it seemed to be the general vibe of the campground, so this is the place to be if you’re into that. Also most of the sites had no shade and there didn’t seem to be anyone enforcing any rules because our neighbors cranked up their generator before 6 am. Bring your earplugs or join the party.

Can't go wrong with sites 1 through 3! There's a little more cell reception with T-Mobile than I remember. Even with gusty wind and some wildfire smoke, we still had a great time. Sunday through Monday there was almost no one there. Minus one star because the dumpster was overflowing the whole time we were there. It's a cool place to camp after the river float.

Nice site, but if you are in a trailer and the neighbor is in a tent, you will see them entire time. Train is very loud as well. But overall a very nice area

Fires and local smoke plus high 90s temps made arrival impossible (nearby roads closed) yet the cancellation was not met with a refund. Cheap cheap cheap and terrible service over a $38 fee. Brutal and pathetic.

Good signage. Sites easy to find. Looks like the campground was replaced recently. Vault toilets were clean.

Beautiful location, easy to reserve, and clean sites and clean bathrooms. Difficult to find my site and navigate the parking lot in the dark. Sites were close together so not a lot of privacy, but everyone was respectful of quiet hours.

They have done a lot to improve the grounds of this site over the years. The upkeep of the walk-to sites and the addition of the extra restrooms is great. 🚨DO NOT BRING BIKES TO THIS CAMPGROUND🚨 There are sharp thorns everywhere on the grounds and all bike tires will be popped. Several thorns even blew onto my paddle board and caused a hole that will now need patched.

We love this campground so close to home! Site #9 is our new favorite.
