Great free campground. The first site on the right when you enter is a bit too slanted for tents unless you set up in the driveway. Fire pit and bench were in good shape. Bathroom was acceptable. Nice separation between sites too.

Road throughout the campground is VERY POOR. Lots of traffic here on the weekends. Not quiet as the canyon amplifies road noise from the surrounding gravel roads. Not many sites, and none are protected from the wind. 1 drop toilet.

This is a secluded campground, with a decently clean Vault toilet. Saw more bicycle traffic than I did vehicle traffic. Dispersed camping, free to camp. Great place to stay for a night and move on!

This campground is wonderful. It's dispersed camping, so there's no fee to camp, though there is a 14-day limit. There are 5 campsites and there is a really clean vault toilet. There is a picnic table and fire ring at each campsite. Four of the sites are on the edge of the forest and the other site is more open and has a nice view of the river. The Forest Service obviously takes great care of this... This campground is wonderful. It's dispersed camping, so there's no fee to camp, though there is a 14-day limit.
