Site 12 was amazing. My neighbor caught a few trout on two separate days while fishing in the late afternoon. The sound of the creek was beautiful. The campground was well-maintained, and the staff ensured that the vault toilets were stocked and cleaned daily. All neighbors were courteous and observed quiet hours. I would definitely come back for another stay.

Campground is beautiful but, a crew came in and removed water supply and did not return for 3 days. "3 DAYS" no water. when they returned, we asked why they removed service and left without restoring service, they said they had to order parts? Shouldn't they have had the parts prior to service removal? Very unprofessional and definitely not properly supervised. After service was restored, folks were washing cookware, brushing their teeth and bathing at the hose bib. Disgusting and unsanitary. Been going to this campground for 50 years and I will NEVER camp there again. Our state is changing and NOT for the good. So sad!!!!

This is a great riverside campsite. The only thing is they say you can pull up a van or car. Well, you can, but only to load and unload. Then you park across the road. Which is fine, we planned to sleep in our van. Fortunately we had a tent on board and it worked out. Also, nice rangers were working there.

Space #20 was great: next to the creek, only one neighboring campsite, close to water spigot, near restroom but not on top of it.

Clean campsites. Awesome experience. My only complaint is that they changed the bathrooms. The old bathrooms had flush toilets and sinks. New bathrooms are “pit toilets” and no sinks. Other than that, this is one of the best campsites you can find.
