Nice area

This is a very nice campground, with nice spacing between sites, mostly quiet at night. The restrooms were clean and nice. Not sure who thinks that sharp pointy gravel makes for a good tent pad, though. Those are so packed that putting tent pegs in was really tough.

Signage on the road to the historic Blue Heron Tipple could be better. Roads to overlooks were poorly or not at all marked, so make sure you have a good map. Seems like the scenic passenger train no longer goes here as well, so some information needs updating. The Blue Heron site is well worth the visit, just be sure to take water and maybe a picnic lunch as at least at our visit (June 2021) the concessions were closed. Some nice hikes accessible from this campground, nice and uncrowded.

The campsite was perfect. It did not seem over crowded. Restrooms were clean and outside of the restroom was an area to wash dishes. Each site had their own bear container. You must bring your own wood from the area since they did not have a store to purchase on site.
