We have been camping at Hospital Flat site 19 for the better part of 25 years now. We love this place. Raised our 3 children camping here annually. In all the years, nothing changed until recently, the flood in 2023 changed the landscape and it looks like site 19 was ground 0 for a fire since then. Disappointing but understandable. Nature will nature, and we will be back next year! Only 1 thing I was most bothered by, every year for 25 years give or take, we always met the camp host. This time no such thing, we were there from Sunday to Wed and never saw the host. Don't know his/her name, never changed the placards at the site. Found that interesting...don't even know if anyone was even in the trailer. But that's just a small thing. We're coming back next year with 4 sites needed. We just love this area...

Well we'be been going to this camping for years, this time it was disappointing, looks like there was a fire last year and seems it was not really cleaned up, burned dead wood on the ground, cut wood piece still there over the campground, definitely lack of care. My reservation here was cancelled last year, happy to see it reopen but for the price it would be nice to find a clean space. Same for the restroom, dirty floor and walls, just a mop once in a while be nice. So overall looks like it's been a bit neglected, too bad.

I can tell the camp spot would normally be really nice. However. At some point, in the recent past, they decided to do a controlled burn of a few of the campsites next to the river. Why? is a whole other review. Nobody bothered to inform the people that are booking those sites that the campground you reserved is now an ash and charcoal pit. In some places its 8 deep. Looks like solid ground until you step on it, and you sink into ash up to the middle of your calf, filling your shoes. Awesome, thanks for that. Our campsite was so bad, we didnt use it. We ended up having to share our friends campsite which was a little better. What a mess. Its really disappointing that they would do this and not tell anyone, and STILL charge full price for it. It doesnt appear there was any effort at all to clean up afterward. It was recent enough that whole campsite still smells like fire.We were very frustrated and disappointed. So I guess, from here on out, when you book a campsite, you have to ask if the campsite is actually useable. Youll need to ask if your specific campsite has been altered, damaged, destroyed, or otherwise totally different from what is advertised. Obviously, they wont offer that information to you, but will still charge you full price as well. Very uncool. Having said that, the general area is an absolute gem.

This used to be the best campsite but there was a fire that ruined all of the trees/ shade. Make sure to bring a few canopies. Also, site 19 does not have river access anymore. They have not cleared the trees away so you have to share, hopefully, with the next site over.

We were there on July 5 and 6 and it was 107 degrees. Had to go to town twice a day for ice for the ice chests. Fishing wasn’t good and the 2 we caught we threw back, too small.

Very nice place for camping, the river is very good for swimming.

I love this site so much. It’s peaceful, clean and offers great sites near the water. The camp host is sweet and engaging as well. She was there last summer too!

Site 17 is nice but the only problem is some people always passing by to our site to get access to the river
