Vine Wally like this particular campground. It always clean and well kept. The vault toilets are the nicest in the national forest campground system. haha They really do keep them clean. Cell service depends on carrier and campsite. T-Mobile works pretty well.

I travel and seek out USFS campgrounds to camp in. The vault toilets at this campground are by far the cleanest and most well maintained that I have ever been in.

The park seemed very well managed and was very clean. Good location, being just a few miles from Ely on a beautiful river. A rather small and private feeling campground , just 30 sites available, some with direct river access. There are no showers, but good well water is available, and the vault restroom facilities were very clean. We could hear the wolves howling from across the river at night, that alone was worth our trip (up north), as we live in the twin cities.

Sites were spacious, bathrooms very clean. Water a little far from campsites but fine.

Excellent site, very clean and had clear instructions on how to keep trash and food away from bears. The host was wonderful and extremely helpful when my car broke down. I will definitely be back!!
