Weve camped here for 12 years, and the new Campground host is awful, she doesnt need to be at a campground thats kid friendly! She harassed not only my camp but 4 other peoples! I wont be back if they dont change campground host.

Great little campground. Clean bath house with great showers. 30amp sites are short, but the lengths are listed in the reservation system. Pay attention to lengths. 50 amp sites are a little longer.Great access to several trails near by and the mining town was a good visit.

Previous campers had left of mess of dog food and cherios scattered on the ground. Due to the bear warnings, I cleaned it up and other garbage they left as best as possible. The camp sight was so close and open to the next sight that I could hear casual conversations. The camp sight was across from the dump station and we could always smell it, not pleasant! We were in sight #8.

We enjoyed ourselves a lot. We went swimming and fishing in the near by river. The shower/bathroom house was kept clean and the campsite was nice near the pond. Already have another trip booked.

We had a very pleasant experience. The bathrooms were clean and the water was hot. The hookups worked well. The only suggestion that I have is that you provide some way to mark that you are still in a campsite. Being new to camping, we left some things at our campsite to let folks know that we were coming back. Someone assumed that we had abandoned our stuff and took it. Luckily, our nice campground host and friendly park ranger Matt recovered the items. beautiful hike on the Blue Heron loop!

Campground is well maintained. Spaces are plenty large enough. Bathhouse is very nice. Highly recommend.

Small campground with good facilities. Power, water is a big plus. Great hiking, views of the river close by.
