Small campground near the Pitt River.

The campground host, Warren, is great! He keeps the cleanest pit toilets and takes time to chat with campers about what to do around the campground.

Cheap, beautiful, clean, peaceful, and a great host

Beautiful campsite, usually pretty empty on weekdays. We went in late May and it's lovely, across our campsite was the river which was also gorgeous. Super green. The camp host Jeff is super sweet and fun to talk to so if you see him say hi!

The group site is being cleaned right now so it was not open when we were there, it should re-open around June 5. All other sites are open and beautiful.

Enjoy! :)

Empty

So nice! 8 camp spots sites are super close to the river. Great fishing, swimming lagoon, picnic tables, fire rings ( no fires right now ), vault toilets, and quiet. We were literally the only people who were camping. Paved road and stunning views
