Such a beautiful area, nice to have it all to ourselves. Water was great for swimming. We did see a snake or two so be careful. Great place to relax. If camping in the summer bring solar or battery powered fans or whatever it gets very humid and hot. We will definitely be coming again, my friends and I loved the area. Such a hidden gem. Water was not as clear as I had hoped but it’s because of sand and silt washing down from the mountain but still very clean and cool. Great for fishing and family get togethers but bring everything you need for primitive camping.

This campground is the best, the gate makes its completely private. We went during the time of year where you have to make a reservation not the first come first serve. The lock was a little aggravating but once you figured it out it’s wasn’t bad. We took our pop up camper but definitely could fit a bigger camper down there. I would say there was about 8 or more places to set up camp so it’s perfect for multiple campers or big groups. There was a small creek that was concrete that you will have to pass and a very sharp curve keep that in mind with bigger campers. The bathroom/outhouse was clean for the most part and had plenty of toilet paper. There was also bear proof trash cans. Only down fall that I could think of was how loud the traffic was crossing the near by bridge, but other than that we will 100% be back if we ever can get a reservation again seems to book up fast.

The campsite was wonderful. It was private and relatively clean. It had some storm damage which cut down on places to camp but we managed. The only problem we had was the lock to get in was so old and worn it made it difficult to unlock.

We have stayed here every year for several years with our children and grandchildren. Everyone loves this campground. It is private and always clean, the only drawback is the lack of fresh water.

We enjoy how beautiful the spot is and how private the spot is. We suggest bringing fishing gear and swimming gear because the river is always refreshing.
