I was here on 7/19/22. Even with how dry 2022 has been, the creek was flowing well, and the big creek crossing down the road was almost too deep for a motorcycle to ford.

There is a small creek you can walk to from the North end of the campground to filter water from. The campground is laid out in a line so you won't have too many other campers near you even if the campground is busy. There are two vault toilets, one at either end and ~10 sites with cement picnic benches and most of them seem to have fire rings. There's 1 or 2 additional sites near the big creek crossing as well.

3 of us camped here in October for a week on the last week of deer hunting season. Nice picnic tables and fire rings. There are 2 toilets, one at each end of the campground. The campground stretches along Bear Creek, which was flowing well in October If driving from Lower Lake, you have to cross a creek, and I recommend a four-wheel drive with high clearance.
