I hesitate to write a review; because this campground is such a beautiful secret. Scott and Ronda were the hosts, and their genuine kindness and support made our stay an absolute joy. The campground is clean, peaceful, safe and rests directly on the rumbling creek with tall mountains on either side.

Deb (the 2024 host) as well as Scott and Rhonda (2023) -are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They keep everything neat and orderly and make you feel right at home. Nice, quiet spot away from the highway with some tent sites near the water. Dog-friendly with nice walks up the road along Spring creek.

A nice campground by a creek. We’ve been coming here for years but you’ll need transportation to access walking/hiking trails, water, or a sani dump station thus the 4 of 5 stars. Camp hosts are amazing people. They earn a solid 5 of 5 stars.

Beautiful quiet campground in the middle of the mountains next to a babbling river! There is a river raft company and rock climbing nearby.

Utterly lovely campground. Quiet, away from the busy roads, several creekside sites. We got lucky number 10 which I highly recommend! And amazing creek access all the way up the road from the camp. First come first serve and we had a very easy time getting in, albeit late in the season and middle of the week. Only thing that would have made this campground better for me would be trails from site.... Utterly lovely campground. Quiet, away from the busy roads, several creekside sites.
