Three stars reflects the original site we reserved (site 77 on loop D) photo below for reference. Location and hosts I would give 10 stars if I could! Couldn’t find a whole lot of photos on individual sites and even resorted to a few camping groups online to get some insight. Unfortunately, site 77 was more of a picnic area than a full camping site. There was no dedicated tent pad area and the largest area wasn’t big enough for our four person tent. The tent was essentially set up next to the fire pit (meaning we wouldn’t have been comfortable having one going with sparks that close) and the area we set up was on a slope with very brittle dirt so the stakes didn’t stay in. Zero privacy — it was completely open and on the road that goes through the loop. We set up our two camp chairs, and only had a cooler and a black tote with cooking equipment and really felt like we were at a park to picnic versus spending three nights camping. We went for a walk through the campground and saw so many empty but reserved spaces that were much larger and private, which was disappointing. Luckily, as the hosts were riding through and introducing themselves to new campers they stopped to see if we were good. We gently mentioned how the space is tiny and we weren’t able to secure our tent properly and that it just felt very open. They fully agreed and wished that the site was dedicated for RVs instead of tents (as there is no room for one). My partner mentioned a site opposite of us and we vacant (they had a full week rental and no showed) and the hosts were more than happy to let us switch up. We were so relieved! They came back a bit later and asked how the new site was and we couldn’t be more grateful. The location is spectacular. Definitely reminiscent of Olympia with the rainforest vibe and mossy trees. The river was STUNNING to relax at and take a dip (very cold but in 95 degree weather we loved it) and all the trails along the campground were well kept and magical. I didn’t walk through the entire property but if you are looking at loop D avoid site 75 & 77. Bathrooms were spotless and stocked and you could tell the hosts were really dedicated to ensuring everyone had what they needed.
