The picturesque location, nestled among large pine trees and alongside a charming creek, enhances the overall experience. While there were some minor issues such as generator noise and biting flies, the positives greatly outweigh the negatives, making it a highly recommended spot for campers.

Great campground. Well kept, camp host on site, very nice pit toilets at either end, and easy access to the creek especially sites down the end, numbers 10 - 12.
Probably would’ve picked number 10 if I knew better, it was less shaded, but more secluded (decent sized field on one side and a grove of trees on the other. I was in 12, and the creek was just 30 ft behind the campsite, which was great. The people next to me had a generator going most of the time - not really what I wanted to hear, but, nothing to get on about that. Thankfully the creek was louder than the generator!
Really, though all the campsites are well spaced, just some a little more than others and the campground was full on this first week in July.
The pit toilets were very clean, unsmelly, had plenty of toilet paper, a bottle of hand sanitizer and motion light for the night. Lots and lots of pretty flowers at the beginning of July!
Oh and I like that they had these 5 gallon buckets at the water spouts, which are very tall, so you can get your container closer to the actual water flow. Thank you!
Definitely would stay again!

Great campsite. BUT, although we made a reservation someone else had taken our site because the host had put a sign up that said: “open tonight”.
Luckily the other family was willing to move elsewhere.

What a fantastic campground! It was clean - the cleanest National Forest bathrooms I've ever seen! The creek was gorgeous nearby. The campsites are close enough to be convenient, but not so close that you feel like you have a neighbor. Whomever the hosts are, they're doing a wonderful job.

This site was incredible! The host was so kind and helpful! He took a lot of pride in his work and it showed. The bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen a pit bathroom!

We were fortunate to reserve the site we wanted. The camp hosts are great and very helpful. They know the area well and keep you out of trouble in your off road expeditions. The snow was still deep in some areas. FS road 17 was closed at Ranger Creek Recreation Area until the middle of June. We had access to water and the rest rooms were very clean.

The host and hostess of the camp ground are wonderful folks. Very helpful, the grounds and restroom were very clean. Dale helped us move our camper and we were able to borrow their water jugs. Thank you Dale.
