The campground itself is good. However, it is a haven for Side by Sides due to all the availability of trails for them in the area. Site 005 is next to the road for Tie Flume and Dead Swede campgrounds, so there is constant noise from vehicles of all types during daylight hours. Starting early in the day, and ending late in the day. A fine dust from the vehicles on the roads coats everything at your campsite(s). 001, 002, ... 006. I tent camped, which made for even a less pleasurable Tie Flume experience. Noise and dust may be more tolerable in a hardside camper. Those, like the SxS's, were in abundance along with hit/miss to adherence of the non-use of generators from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.

The scenery, roads (I was a camper on a cross-country motorcycle trip) and wildlife when present is/are hard to top, but if I ever pass through again, I'll probably bypass Tie Flume for the aforementioned issues.

Camp Host are always great,helpful,and kind. But Be aware and prepared for the rhythmic sounds of generators running a lot. I really wish that if the folks have a need for a generator they pony up and get a whisper quiet one and run it with any form of consideration.
Please give all wildlife more room than you think they need.

We had been to this campground earlier in June and returned because we were able to reserve at last minute. This time we had site 22, it was perfect. Beautiful view.

We would have loved it....however our pickup broke down on the way there
I tried canceling our week-long reservation so someone else could have our spot but I couldn't figure out how to do that on this site

Our first experience boondocking but all went well and our space at Tie Flume was exceptionally beautiful with Big Daddy Moose eating reeds in the river and Momma long legs coming thru camp WITH her baby. It was amazing like we were in another world
