This campground is in desperate need of some TLC. A lot of the spots have overgrown vegetation including a lot of poison oak. We had poison oak so close to our fire pit and tent we decided to leave and luckily found a great spot at panther flats up the road. This place has potential to be a good spot but needs some help.

It was very worth the little hike!

Go across the bridge to Medona River Access there are 3 free campsites, fire pits, vault toilets, tree shade and fantastic access to the river. These are first come, first serve with a 7 day limit. Again along the highway but a little quieter. Rigs over 25' may have an issue with the free area. I suggest parking at the top of the road and walk down to scope out the area first.

Great campground. We had reservations for site 14. The web site started that this site could accommodate a 30 foot camper, but it was not possible to fit a 30 camper in here due to low limbs, narrow road and obstacles on the road that prevented one from making the maneuvers necessary to back in. We had to give up and we found a place nearby that had dispersed camping (see pictures). This campgr... Great campground. We had reservations for site 14.

We had to give up and we found a place nearby that had dispersed camping (see pictures). This campground is nice, but it should be limited to tents and small campers . Not big rig friendly. No host available to help us.

Not the best campground we’ve stayed at but definitely good enough! Had a nice access to the smith river (which is incredibly beautiful!!) 2 mins walking distance from our camp site. Bathrooms were clean. Don’t forget your mosquito repellent tho!! They’re everywhere there.
