We really enjoyed our time here. The first 12 or so camp spots are very close together with no privacy and place to pull your car in, so be aware of this is you’re reserving a spot. However we still loved the area, the open lawn was awesome to play catch in and the valley is gorgeous at sunset. Walking to and from the car could be annoying but we definitely got our steps in. Also NO BUGS! We never... We really enjoyed our time here.

However we still loved the area, the open lawn was awesome to play catch in and the valley is gorgeous at sunset. Walking to and from the car could be annoying but we definitely got our steps in. Also NO BUGS! We never so a mosquito or were bothered by flies at the site; probably due to the creek being dried up but it was very nice to not have to use bug spray. The camp host was also the nicest and coolest host I’ve ever met and she made our time there even better. Would stay again.

Great spot to camp if you have littles and don't want to be near dangerous water. A few sites are right next to each other so unless you book them together your close to neighbors. But its nice that some spots are flat and completely open so you can set up tents however.

The creek was dry, the firepits closed and it was still beautiful. No electric, water, or sewer as expected. The camp site is huge, could easily fit 2 35 foot (total length) rigs side by side. My 25 foot 5th wheel fit, connected with perhaps 8 foot to spare. Trees and brush surround the site (excepting the roadway). The nearest other sites at least 75 yards away, you can't see anyone else.

The road to the park is paved, but has multiple large pot holes. The road in the campground is paved and in excellent shape. The pad is paved. There is a basic latrine across the road from my site. Paved walkway to it and it is ADA with concrete floor. Excellent park.

We didn't stay, but the campground host was so nice that I will definitely come back we are ever in the area. The sign said "Campground Full" but he offered us a nice spot near the entrance. He went on to tell us other places that we could boondock after we decided to let the car behind us have our spot. He was so polite and accommodating even after having to tell another camper to put out his... We didn't stay, but the campground host was so nice that I will definitely come back we are ever in the area. The sign said "Campground Full" but he offered us a nice spot near the entrance. He went on to tell us other places that we could boondock after we decided to let the car behind us have our spot. He was so polite and accommodating even after having to tell another camper to put out his fire, with extreme fire danger posted every 20' throughout the area. I wanted to stay to help, he treated me like a brother even though he could see that we were from California. The campground has little privacy, but the host made it feel like the place to be.

One of the most peaceful, welcoming campgrounds I’ve stayed at. The camp host was incredibly kind—laid-back but attentive, and you could tell that she genuinely cared about maintaining a good vibe across the grounds. I do want to mention—it’s called Beauty Creek, but there is absolutely no creek or water access. 10/10 serenity, 0/10 creek. Still would absolutely stay again.
