Little campground, not to much privacy
This little campground is best gotten to by Highway 44. A fire went through here a year or so ago, so it’s slowly coming back. A lot of local teens use this as a party camping spot, so be prepared.

Secret place
It was an adventure to get to from route 36. It takes you on a forested, cliff-side adventure. There were a few downed trees that would have blocked the road, but luckily the paths are well-maintained. I came here on 4th of July weekend hoping that the crowds hadn't found it and sure enough, I mostly had the campground all to myself, aside from one couple and their dog. I heard a kid yelling in the distance so I'm guessing there's another campground nearby. There were about 5 or 6 sites to choose from. Most are right on the Susan River. Be prepared for bugs zzz-ing in your ear; bring mosquito spray. There is a water spigot and one toilet booth full of bullet holes that graciously had toilet paper. There are two info stations about respecting mountain lions and being mindful of fires. It looked as if the wood from those downed trees were shared to the campsites: free firewood! I didn't use them. I slept in my car. No reception for phones. Temperature in early July was pretty moderate.

Wonderful
We stopped here for the night, on a Friday night in June, and the place was deserted, with only one other tent. It was nice, quiet and beautiful. Only 10 sites, but there are lots of dispersed places to camp on the way in from the highway if the campground is full. We have a VW Camper so we are pretty much self contained.
Great place to camp.
