The site is great! Just make sure to pick one closest to the river. We were at site 49. About 40 ft (2 mins walk) from the river and "beach access" which is open to everyone (first come first serve basis). Bring river tubes. Some parts of the river has enough current and dept for tubing. You will have to ask permission from other sites if you need access to some parts of the river. Other campers are pretty chill about it. Host is nice too and very helpful. Vaulted toilet is clean but definitely not out thing. Overall, great experience. Will definitely be back! :)

Great Group Site (#1). Plenty of Parking and additional Overflow Parking. Close to town and the Brewery (if you so choose) and also about 50min away from the Sequoia Forest (Trail of 100 Giants) - Take a side trip for a few hours it's worth it!

Very pretty camping area near a quaint town. It was hot so dipping in the nearby river was fun

Site was well kept. Bathrooms were kept clean and always had toilet paper.
The camp host was very friendly. He made rounds in the morning and evening and checked in making sure we had everything and everyone was picking up after themselves.

The campsites that are not along the river have little to no shade, making it very difficult to stay there during the day, especially in hot weather. If you cannot reserve a riverside site, bring a camper or a large canopy to create your own shade. However, I strongly recommend choosing a riverside site if one is available. The campground host is very friendly and keeps the entire place clean and well organized.
