Found this spot as we were scouting fishing spots on the white river. We stayed in 28. Clean bathrooms, quiet because it was empty. You can hear the rider from the sides closest to the road. No views because you are surrounded by trees. $30/night for primitive camping is expensive. Maybe that’s why there were only 4 of 28 sites occupied on a September Saturday?

A delightful hidden gem of a campground hidden in the middle of nowhere down the path less travelled. The majority of the sites are excellent relative to other remote campgrounds. #22 is the best by landslide, hands down, but many great options exist to make it with a freak drop-in. The campground was completely empty. Given how busy other campgrounds have been I was shocked when the host noted that I was the first camper in over 2 weeks. Unlike other campgrounds (I've seen thus far across Can/US) the $30/night rare is *steep*, and may be contributing to the low usage. Since I have the entire place to myself, I'm justifying the $60 as that premium for peace. Beyond that as a regular rate It would weigh heavily on my returning. That said, it's a wonderful campground that people who still enjoy tenting will have a lot to choose from here and not be left with the scraps leftover by RV users

Stayed for three nights. There are bathrooms that are clean, trash bins, and water to turn off fires. We stayed in #22. I would recommend others to stay here. Diana was kind introduces herself(host)

I typically never post a comment about my experience somewhere but I think it is absolutely ridiculous to make it mandatory that you have to reserve Friday night to reserve a spot when you are only going to be there on a saturday and sunday . We have always stayed at the North Fork campground in the past but I will take my money else were. Stupid idea.

Great little spot in a beautiful valley. We're usually in a remote camp for hunting. This was our first time staying in a campground for hunt camp. There were toilets. Enough said.
