Just a couple Alaskan bikers traveling the lower 48 anf found this campground open all year. Spent a couple nights here dodging the rain. Nice and quiet with outstanding showers and bathroom.
Dora Mose
A very relaxing short vacation! I tent camped, and still felt very safe. A clean, well kept park.
Maria Solek
Lovely campground, nice open spot. Clean bathrooms and showers. Pool was always very busy- a big hit! Great location as well, and fair pricing.
Jason Strickland
Great place to stay whether you're working the outages or hitting the salmon run. Fitz and 9 mile are 20min up the road, and Salmon River public access is 15min. Very affordable, clean, and most importantly, quiet. Will definitely be staying here again.

Brought Scout BSA troops to this campground to view the solar eclipse. They were very accommodating to our large group and had great space for us to set up multiple tents and have easy access to bathrooms and water.
