Peaceful getaway

Beautiful river area, friendly people, hills to hike around! There’s a fire pit and bbq set up at each site and bathrooms and drinking water around the campgrounds. Seems like an amazing spot for a family camping trip! I believe it was $28 a night for a single spot or $14 with a discount. Cons for a nomad is there’s 0 service out there even hiking to the top of the mountain. It’s also about an hour of winding roads from the nearest town to get there. IMO not worth it when there’s plentyyyy of free camping pull offs you pass on the way there.

The BEST

The best campground ever! My family has been going here since my grandpa was a kid. The owners are wonderful and still recognize us even over the many years. The grounds are kept clean and tidy and the bathrooms are well kept too. They’re good about safety and wildlife. There’s access to the river, but you can also hike the mountains.

The Very Best

One of the best places I have ever camped! Beautiful location right on the river. The bathrooms are spotless clean and everything is very tidy. Campsites are even swept before your stay. The hosts Judy and Ed, are the most amazing hosts that really do make for a positive camping experience!
