A bit overgrown but otherwise a very nice campsite. Bathrooms were without water but surprisingly clean. There’s a couple of paths that lead to restrooms and two leading to the river. Careful of the water, fast moving with a riptide(don’t swim the rapids). Each campsite has a well used grill and picnic table.

Really nice place to park for the night. The river runs right thru the property and lots of people spend time here. It was clean and had a really nice campfire to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. Our dogs loved it here as well. Thankful for nice places like this!

Restroom smelled but they were free. Campground was free and I met nice people. Went for a hike in the river even went for a swim. I’d stay here again.

Nice place, although infested by mosquitoes. It's free, there are about 10 RV sites and a few tent sites. Doesn't look very much maintained, tent sites have a lot of grass. You'll have to make your own path to get to the river. Watch out for bears!

Interesting building very run down. I guess its a what could have been. I dont really k ow if theres a way to rate this well not really worth going to or stoping at just a intereating build.

Such a cool looking place from the outside, wish it could have opened for business. What a shame all the money put into it and it never opened.

Nice place to stay visiting rural Alaska right on the East Fork river. They can accommodate any size rig. Nice knowledgeable people.

Nice area to camp at no charge. Limited parking spots. Some trails to the river. Simi quite as many passersby for the rest area do make noise all times of the day & night.

I stay here nearly every time I'm going to or from Anchorage, at least 10+ times. Neat little campground that is FREE, has about 8 sites or so and is in a loop so big units can get in. I like going in late afternoon around dinner time but it is in the middle of nowhere and there isn't much to do after you've hiked the little trail to the river.
