Nice and peaceful surroundings. (at least in October) Great location to spend the night and tour the Oregon Caves the next day.

It looks like it was closed a while, but is back to use. We loved how quiet it was, no power, no internet, just us and nature.

Very nice campground. Nice distance between sites. Potable water on site and vault toilets. No showers. Camp host was on site but we never went out of our way to look for them nor did we ever see them. Did have wifi tho!

For what it was, it was a great spot. Loved the forest surrounding and cozy feel of the site. We knew it was somewhat primitive so wasn’t expecting luxurious amenities but the site and compost toilets were very clean, no smell. Appreciated its proximity to the caves and junction.

Good location if you're visiting the Oregon Caves. There's a 2.5 mile hiking trail from the campsites to the Oregon Caves Visitor Center. There is one spigot with portable water, clean camp sites, nice little creek that runs behind the camp sites, and clean but smelly pit toilets. Most campsites are in the shade and cool on hot days.
