We booked about a month in advance and had limited options. We stayed in site 16. It was close to the road but not as exposed sites 22 & 23.

This was a great place to camp. There was a fun little trail. We were in spot 47 and it was quiet and close to the restroom and not far from the trail and stream. If i could choose again I would get spot 47

I went the first week of February. It was extremely cold and windy so prepare properly if you plan on camping around then. l'd recommend extra stakes for your tent. The bathrooms smelled clean enough for being a campground bathroom. There were no lights or sinks in the bathrooms. The sites don’t have working spigots. They also sell fire wood at the sites. Site 27 is bigger than the other sites, has easy access to the creek and a lot of shade. The site also comes with a fire pit grill and a bbq grill. It is however right next to the highway and a turn out so a lot of cars are constantly driving by and the site was uneven and there wasn’t much flat surface for a tent.

Great campground for a winter camping. Very quiet and warm. Has less fire restrictions than near by state parks. Was able to make wood fire. Select sites have decent design with accessible firering; however, majority of the sites have flaws including being too close to the road (all sites by the roads will have cars passing by them constantly), uneven ground, firering blocked by large boulder, and extremely small site. Many sites do have great access to the river. I'd imagine it would be great for a family with kids if you can get those sites in the summer. The campground have no running water. The bathrooms also don't have light even though they have a solar lights installed on every bathrooms, they are broken. The camp host buys firewood by pallets and sells at $10 which is about 2 times the price so I suggest bringing your own.

We just came back from the most romantic and peaceful vacation ever. We were so lucky to have snagged camp site #13. Amazing creek right at our feet, huge site amd well maintained. Camp ranger was super helpful and accommodating, especially when we had decided to play hooky on Monday and stay and extra night. It was that wonderful of a place. Bathrooms were clean and plentiful. We can’t wait to return!

Love this place. Even if reservations system says full you should still check with the camp hosts.

This is a beautiful place to camp. It could even be better with a little bit of TLC around the campground but that didn't bother us we had a nice relaxing time. The views are great and the camp hosts were very friendly too!
