Really beautiful campground! Fair warning, the sites are pretty close together to the point where you can hear what other families are saying. Also, the highway is very close and super loud. But the river is beautiful and the sites are well-kept. We had a great Labor Day weekend here!

This was our last camping trip of the season. Super windy but sunny day on Saturday and snow on Sunday morning. Nice camping spot alongside the river. We had spot 9 which had some trees and some large ricks behind us. All spaces were very spacious and each spot had a picnic table, a fire pit and a raised spot for the tent. There was one bathroom.

The sunset over the river was beautiful.

Cool, small camping area right on the river. It's a long bumpy ride to get to it, but it has some nice spots. We stayed at the very last one but had to run off some sketchy locals who had claimed it without a reservation. There is a pit toilet at the entrance, which wasn't close to our site at all. No running water, so be sure to bring plenty. Stars were beautiful, and it was so nice to sit by th... Cool, small camping area right on the river.

Amazing campground! Stayed here for a few nights and loved it. Good length dirt road takes you out to a little peninsula on the river! Great new fire rings at every campsite and a clean restroom available. Road is kind of close but it is across the river. Would definitely recommend! It is reservation only so make sure you do not show up without one. The park ranger does coke by and check in.

Our campsite is very close to the river, nice view, plenty space, lots of birds and chipmunks. Road to campground is a little challenging, but our 15ft trailer made it ok. Only 12 sites, very private. One toilet at entrance. It is close to highway but the noise really didn't bothered us. A good place to hike, bike, fish or just relax with a book (no internet).
