All we could hear was highway noise and dogs barking and fighting ALL NIGHT LONG. Any minute of peace we thought we had to fall back asleep, nope, dogs would start barking. Restrooms were a nightmare. You have random people walking through your campsite to get to the river. The one nice thing was the wild blackberries

No maintenance done at all. They charge $24 a day and they dont even clean the Porta potty except for once per week on Mondays. Every site said reserved but for the entire week that we were there not one other person showed up in any of the other spots that we wanted. Kinda fishy. What is the purpose of closing down 95% of the spots? Doesnt make sense. this is been happening for a couple of years now.

We ended up camping at Union Valley. Union Valley Campground had 8 sites reserved for multiple night over the entire weekend and not one had someone camping at the site. This has happened to me now 3+ times where I originally wanted to reserve a site at Union Valley but “on line” booking had none available. Then we get there and all are reserved, but none have people camping. I was unable to cancel my spot at Carlton because of lack of cel service in the area, so I guess that makes me a part of the problem. Regardless, it’s a real shame to see all these spots unavailable to book then empty when you go check. Gotta be a better way, maybe 1/2 booking on line and the rest show up and camp? I do t know the answer but overall it makes for a frustrating experience. On another note, Union valley camp ground was clean, safe and beautiful !! Can’t wait to go back, if I can book a f-ing site!!

Younger group playing loud music post quiet hours. No enforcement. Close river access, clean bathrooms, easily accessible.

We love this campground. Been coming here for 25+ years. It makes my heart happy.
