Lovely campground! Paved roads. Friendly host. Our site backed up to the water. You could hear the stream if the windows were open. Our 27ft travel trailer had plenty of room, but there was not enough for our pickup. The spot to park the truck was 20ft away so this was not an inconvenience. Only here one night on the way to Lassen NP. Looks like a good river to fish!

Rolled in around 4pm on a Saturday night in late September without a site reserved, and chatted with the host who told me which sites where still available but that I would need to do the reservation online via recreation.gov, which was not problem for me since I had my Starlink ... which worked great, btw, despite the nice tree cover and being in a river gorge with steep hills all around .... anyway, found a site that I liked and reserved it for the night on rec.gov and I was all set! .... Bathroom was clean as was the site. Its a small campground which nice campsites next to what looked like a great fly fishing river.

This is an excellent campground. Site 17 is right on the river and near all the amenities. The bathrooms and showers were clean and the host was very thoughtful and actively attentive. I felt safe and appreciated the host carefully checking that every car was registered before they drove through the entrance. The river is beautiful and the campground is ideally located near a great little store in Douglas City. No hookups.

Nice campground. Clean bathrooms. Camp host Russ was amazing, very helpful and friendly. Some sites are smaller than others. We walked around and checked out most sites. Site 10 and 13 are very small, enough room for 1 tent only. No matter where you stay at the campground, it's a short walk to the river. The showers were nice also. We stayed in site 11, it was a very nice site, shady and enough room for at least 3 tents.
