4 of us traveled and slept in two cars checked-in to this lovely camp site. Branda gave us a cheaper rate for everything included in a site. That included water/electricity/showers and free woods. She and her husband James are so nice to help. She brought woods to help set up the fire on the fire pit. James gave us a hose for cleaning up the cars. We felt warm welcome here. We later decided to add $ to the price because they are so worth it. Will definitely come again on our next trip around.

Great little campground 50 amp good water some sewer you can use to dump. Really neet scenery to, looks going in like big rig won't go up hill and fit but not a problem

Gorgeous campground with sites that are not close together. Firewood, laundry, and showers are free. The shower/bathroom building is toasty warm inside. The campground host was friendly and helpful. You can walk down 131 steps to the road above the canyon where the First People fish for salmon and steelhead. The river flows through a narrow rock walled canyon there. It’s gorgeous. The campsite has another trail with steps down to the river just below the canyon. And there is a playground for kids. Everything is clean and in excellent condition here. The picnic tables look new. There is a small museum about the native people, but it’s been closed.
