Campground was clean, foragable, camp host was generous and helpful. Beautiful scenery along the American River, dense forest with clear signs of wildlife and many birds. Secluded, calm, all facilities stocked and working properly.

There were signs warning of high danger for fires so no campfires. There were a number of people having a camp fire at this campground. Overall the campsite was beautiful with great views of the mountains.

We enjoyed a quiet week when the campground wasn't very busy. Restrooms clean. Only saw a few of the thatching ant hills, none in a campsite itself. Enjoyed hikes out of Chinook Pass and Sunrise.

This is our fourth stay at Pleasant Valley. It is typically a quiet, peaceful campground; The sites are nice size with lots of space between sites. This year one camper ran his generator most of the day and evening, every day. I recommend he go to a campground with hookups next time!
It kind'a messes up one of the joys of camping, the wonderful sounds. I do not have any issues with generators, I own one, but I only use it to charge the batteries or run the AC on a hot afternoon, which is rare here. To me, it is all about being respectful of the others around you,
Thatcher ants are the only downside. They are throughout the campground, but if you leave them be, they do not bother you. Use caution on the trails, especially with children. They will bite if threatened. There are no hookups, but water is available at a well with a hand pump. Very cold and good tasting water. Vault toilets are located throughout the camp. American river is next to the site and runs high May thru June and in heavy snow melt, into July. We usually jump in a few times if the temps are high enough. There are numerous old growth trees in area and one camper told us the state record old Western Hemlock tree is in the campground, but we did not locate it. Overall, it is one of our favorite campsites.

Great Campsite well situated to the back of Renier. Lots of shade, not very many sites and a great cold stream nearby for kids to explore while making dinner.

Parking upon entry and registration was a little confusing, but all else was well and convenient. Being close to CleElum was nice. We hope to return. It's a beautiful location.
