The place is very well kept…very clean bathrooms and grounds. Not much privacy between the sites, but otherwise a great place to stay on route to somewhere else. Make sure you do the small hiking trail down to the river! That was a highlight, it is gorgeous

Beautiful clean spot. Clean showers and washrooms. A little too cramped for my style for a camp ground, but beautifully treed. It's a ways down to the river to walk but once you get there I'm sure it's absolutely beautiful, so I've been told. I didn't attempt it because it was too far down. Love the little canteen area, pretty cute setup. Great place to stop for a couple of nights if you've been driving a long time. They have a kids area, service and drinking water. I would stop here again for sure.

The campground owners are friendly and helpful. The place is well cared for. Washrooms and laundry were spotless. Sites well cared for. We enjoyed a short hike down to the river where we could swim in the pools. Highway a bit noisy but quieter at night. We would return here.

We stayed here for 5 nights and really enjoyed our time here. The campsite and washrooms were well-maintained and sparkling clean (they changed the shower curtain regularly!). Staff were super friendly and accessible even after office hours. The campsite fee also included free shower and wifi, and they even gave our kids two hand-made finger puppets to camp with. The only downside maybe its location by the highway so it's a bit noisy for those who are sensitive to noise. Highly recommended this campground and will definitely return to it.

A small hidden gem. Friendly staff and so helpful, Todd is AMAZING!! Cleanest bathrooms and such a tidy campground. Can hear the traffic from the highway but nothing earplugs can't solve. Short little hike down to Goat River. Has a little store attached to the office. Laundry facilities, power and water for each site. Has a beach volleyball set up, little outdoor theater that they do an outdoor movie night with. Very pet friendly. There are some nice tent spots, back in rv spots, and pull through spots. Easy distance from Creston and the fruit stands. Will definitely camp there again!!!
