Great campground! Nice sounds of the river behind it, clean, quiet. Somewhat close to the road but stayed Friday - Saturday and just a handful of cars passed by.

Site #1 was well equipped and had plenty of room. An ambitious group could fit 3-4 tents and even a couple hammocks there. Picnic tables seemed new. Only complaint is that there was some broken glass scattered around the site, but that’s only the fault of the a**holes who made the mess. Some other reviews said river access was ‘sketchy’ however there’s straight up a gravel path with nice stone steps all the way down to the shoreline. Water pump worked great, bathrooms on par. Site 1 is far removed from the rest which was very nice, however after taking a quick peek at the rest I could see how it could feel crowded and not very private if you were there during a busy week. The other sites are all very close to one another with little to no vegetation separating them. If you can’t get site 1 then I’d recommend only going during the middle of the week or slightly off season to avoid a crowd.

Was unable to camp due to the air quality being at 188. It was too Smokey to stay. Couldn't get a hold of recreation.gov to ask about a refund.

The campsites are extremely close together. Better for camping with other groups. And very small sites Each site should be more inclusive with dimensions of area for tents of different sizes. Beautiful access to the river. The campsite, it was extremely clean. However, the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. I wish we had more options to camp of the corridor
