We love this campground, though it was certainly crazy over July 4 with 3-4 families staying in many single campsites. We got a few quiet sessions in the hot springs, but one time it went from two of us to over 30(!) from one family group in 15 minutes. Not a problem except they took over the spring for over two hours. We were prepared for a lot of exuberant campers during the holiday, though, and everyone was quiet after 10 pm.Pros: No ATVs allowed.Paved road, trail to swimming hole, and sites keep down the dust and are great for kids on bikes and people in wheelchairs.Roomy, beautiful sites with good separation from other campers, nice tent pads, tables, fire rings, and stove/grille tables.Hot springs is drained every night so no loud parties at it.Many places along the river to set up your chairs, even if your site is across the road.Nice little nature trail and swimming hole at the far end of the campground.Cons (do better, campers!):Our site was peppered with small garbage, confetti, candy wrappers, melted marshmallows, and chicken bones that my dog ate. :-(Our picnic table and grille table were covered with sticky juice, ketchup, and grease. No wonder a bear was reported nearby.The previous campers left a honey bucket full of feces and/or diapers in the bushes at our site. So gross! Many thanks to the host for promptly taking care of it.Non-stop ATV and side-by-side traffic across the river on the holiday weekend were loud and created a lot of dust.

The campground is very nice with camp sites spaced out a bit. Floating and swimming hole are great. Fishing was ok, maybe better with a fly rod. Overall a good first experience, we expect to be back.

Beautiful campground with paved sites now and even the trail to the hot pool is paved. We really appreciate the ban on OHVs in the campground; otherwise, they would be buzzing in constantly to check out the springs and swimming hole, kids doing laps on them, etc. It was very quiet, people seemed to work out sharing or taking turns in the pool (even with the huge gang from the group campground), the nature trail was lovely, and we saw many birds, some deer, and even a family of six river otters. Plenty of vault toilets and water spigots, double sites, and roomy tent pads. Friendly and informative hosts, too!
