Absolutely wonderful! Clean grounds!!! Non stinky restroom. I saw 2 (womens) restrooms and 1 men's. The grounds keeper was friendly and even told people when there was leftover firewood when he was cleaning up sites. So calm and quiet, and of course that depends on the people but we got lucky because almost everyone emptied out as we stayed and the other 2 groups that were there were super peacef...

Tons of great climbing access around here. Nice campground, one of the bathrooms smelled wonderful (and one smelled like a normal campground toilet). There's a hand-pump which is kinda fun but slow to get water.

First off, Keith the camp host, is just the nicest guy. Great to talk to him. The grounds are super clean and spacious. The vault toilet is probably the cleanest we’ve ever used. It is true the campground is a couple miles too close to the highway, but at night not too many cars are driving on that road. Stars…. Lots of stars. Great spot to just look up at night. All in all a nice spot to stay... First off, Keith the camp host, is just the nicest guy. Great to talk to him. The grounds are super clean and spacious.

Exceptional campground. Small (about 16 sites). Onsite staff (Keith and T-Bone) were SUPER friendly and thoughtful. Helped us out a lot. Location is very convenient and a great launch point to several surrounding recreation areas. There is an untreated well onsite. Spots are spacious and spread out, not like at 11 mile. Easy to find. Limits are 2 cars per site and 8 people, no limit on tents. Plen... Exceptional campground. Small (about 16 sites). Onsite staff (Keith and T-Bone) were SUPER friendly and thoughtful.

We stayed one night and had a great experience. The groundskeeper was very friendly and everything was well-maintained. Other campers were very friendly. We stayed at site 7 near the bathrooms, would probably distance ourselves next time. Ride next to ohv trails, noise is minimal.
