There are limited services here, no electric, no water & sewage at sites, but I like the quiet and being on the creek. There is water available and a dump station and restrooms, no showers. Update: 4-20-21 there is not water available this early in the season. So bring water. There is no water for the dump station. But you can still use the dump station. The restroom are closed too.

We spent a week at site 11. The hosts were super nice and helpful. Cougar Bob's sells ice, kinda expensive but close. There was plenty of access to the creek without taking away from nature. We've been going there for over 20 years and this was the nicest year. And don't tell your kids but we have Verizon and always had service.
