Not a bad campground and so great at the same time. It's a bit wide open, but there is decent elbow room. Good for trailer/r folks and tent campers alike. The creek is high over fished by the campers so come early or late season, or wake up early to go fishing if that is what you're here for. Other wise all your gonna be holding is your hands are your tackle box and rod. It's not a bad place to ho... Not a bad campground and so great at the same time.

Other wise all your gonna be holding is your hands are your tackle box and rod. It's not a bad place to home base and find other fishing spots as Hat Creek spans a far distance. Bathrooms are clean. 40 mins to Burnley falls and Lake Britton, fish tacos, underground lava tubes. Great area to explore.

Very nice campground! We stayed for two nights and really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. The sites are well spaced out with plenty of parking, soft ground that makes setting up a tent easy, and each site has a fire pit and grill. There’s a creek running through the campground where you can fish or just relax, and at night it’s dark enough to clearly see the Milky Way. The price is excellent at o... Very nice campground! We stayed for two nights and really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. The sites are well spaced out with plenty of parking, soft ground that makes setting up a tent easy, and each site has a fire pit and grill. There’s a creek running through the campground where you can fish or just relax, and at night it’s dark enough to clearly see the Milky Way. The price is excellent at only $16 per night with drinking water available. The toilets are chemical rather than flush, but overall the campground is quiet, scenic, and a great place to sleep well.

Really nice environment, has a beautiful creek that you can go down by the water. Many water stations, including drinking water stations. Enough accessible bathrooms. Convenient location, driving down 2-3minutes there are two markets (Old Station) that you can purchase foods, firewood, etc, and you can take shower at one of those. Overall it’s a clean and quiet campground. We walked-in during Lab... Really nice environment, has a beautiful creek that you can go down by the water. Many water stations, including drinking water stations. Enough accessible bathrooms. Convenient location, driving down 2-3minutes there are two markets (Old Station) that you can purchase foods, firewood, etc, and you can take shower at one of those. Overall it’s a clean and quiet campground. We walked-in during Labor Day weekend. There were a few spaces left at the campground like 3 to 5. It’s $16 per night for camping. I was saying the camp sites are not too far away from each other but luckily the people were quiet. You can set fires at the fire pit. Not too many insects. In fact, this is one of the campgrounds that I saw the least insects which is so good. This place could be a good place for watching stars too. But the most impressive part is definitely the water stations, so convenient to fulfill your water needs.
