I would give the park a five but we had unruly campers next to us that partied till 445 in the morning playing their Latino music, drinking and playing cards for money. It wasn't till one person won all the money that the music shut off and they went to bed. The RV dump was full when we left so we couldn't dump the tanks in the trailer The scenery is beautiful and I saw my first walking stick bug. The bathrooms are well kept. We will be back again soon.

Cache creek Canyon was good place to camp with family. The Creek waters for swimming we're good the camp sites we're all green and lots of shade to cool down. There was no running water on camp site and showers were few feet away. I give this camp site a 4 Star.

Clean, spacious, easy weekend.... a bit far out there, but I guess that is the point. Water was really low, but that is the rains fault. Great place to get away.
