Nice camp but needs work. Signage and water spigot damaged. FS campground should be 1/2 price with Senior Lifetime Pass, but they charged me full price. Pretty camp but too much traffic noise. Generally less noise after 9pm.

We try to visit this little campground each year. We love that it there aren't many campsites and it makes for an intimate camping experience. We love fishing in the river, cooking at campsite and eating at the nearby restaurants. A quick trip to Grover Hot Springs is always on our schedule. Campground and restroom were clean. We do miss having a camp host at this location. On our first trip there the camp host gave us good info about the area.

Sites were all really clean and well maintained. Also, the camp host was a really nice guy and helped point us to some cool trails nearby. I will for sure be visiting here again!

good site. quiet and has a cool path to the next site, which has a little fairy garden and an adorable note from a previous camper.

Stunning nature, small sites. Could barely fit 2 large tents. waterfront site still requires a steep walk down a slippery path to get to the water; where you have to cross boulders and a fallen tree to access the water. It was easier to walk down the road more and then access the river. Bugs were not bad. No cell service which
I don't mind. Highway makes a lot of noise and sirens nightly.

Very quiet campground other than the highway.
