Campground host Andrea has made this campground a clean and safe for kids place to camp. All campgrounds should have an Andrea! It's a beautiful and peaceful place to camp!!

I like how big the campground is. It has 88 campsites and some of is good for single site and double site. One site is good for 6 campers, upon arrival you need to pay for staying even not overnight. It’s a cash only pay method!! No signal on the area so no chance of venmo, paypal or zelle. There’s a separate restrooms for men and women limited for 2 campers. No showers and lights inside the restrooms so if you’re planning to stay bring lamp and flashlights with you. Bugs sprays and toiletries.

It’s a nice place to relax with family. Nice bathrooms. Really cold at night during summer, but hot during the day. The river goes too fast so it’s kinda hard finding a spot to get in (if you want, realllyyyyy cold water when i went). Also a downside is that there’s no wifi :)

Nice, quiet little campground to take your family for a quick trip. Clean bathrooms and the camphosts are super friendly. Plenty things to do with fishing, hiking or just star gazing. Peaceful and relaxing. Love coming here.

While on a road trip from the San Francisco Bay Area to Northern Colorado in mid-August, 2021, we stayed at this campground for 1 night and had no problem, without a reservation, finding a site on a Saturday night. You will arrive at this campground after leaving CA Hwy 108 and driving about 6 miles on Clark Fork Road, a good paved road, suitable for all types of vehicles. The drive takes you through the 2018 Donnell Fire burn scar; the campground itself was not burned and is pleasantly forested. All sites are easy walking distance from the Clark Fork River, a welcoming place where you can fish or wade in the cool water. The flush toilets and potable water spigots throughout the campground make for a nice stay. NOTE: In the summer of 2021, camping fees were payable with cash-only.
