Great campground. Well maintained and nice, helpful staff. Stayed many times over the summer and would return. No hookups but potable water throughout the site and generators allowed except during quiet hours. Each spot comes with a fire pit and picnic table. Depending on where you are, there might be some car noise from the nearby road. People were respectful of quiet hour. There are definitely bears roaming around so keep your food contained within your vehicle. Leashed pets allowed.

I love this campground. We visit multiple times a year. If you have small children this may not be for you. Older kids will have fun I think. If you appreciate nature, quiet camping (tree separated camping spots, trails and just pure relaxation this place is for you. They also have fishing spots, including one large one made of concrete for those who enjoy that activity. 5 star.

Great campground with lots of privacy and nice in the Forrest. You do need to pick a spot that is not close to the road as the campground is just next to a road that is relatively busy so can be noisy if you have one of the spots closest to it. Great hikes in the area.

Camped here recently and loved it! The staff were friendly and helpful, the sites were large and well-spaced and the area has lots of places to explore and fish. The bathrooms could use a repaint but they were campground-clean (also, they hadn’t turned the hot water on yet). The site and proximity of the river outweighs my negative comments about the restrooms and I hold firm on 5 stars.
