We were at site 8 - it had a small hill to walk down from the parking pad which was a little treacherous when hauling gear. Beautiful, quiet campground with tons of aspens and a daytime soundtrack of cows mooing 😂 The bathrooms closest to site 8 looked brand new.

Great site, mostly level, near the newly constructed vault toilets (but not too near). Spent the weekend with the grandkids who loved playing in the nearby Duchesne River, building forts just across the fence, riding bikes through camp, and roasting marshmallows over the fire. Felt uncrowded on an end-of-summer weekend.

The new bathrooms were excellent, but the fence surrounding the campground is down in several places. This allows the cows to get into the campground and you end up with cowpies and flies everywhere. Fix the fence and it would be a great campground.
