Secluded and clean

Beautiful spot, shared with one other truck a few spots away. Clean enough portapotty. Fire rings and picnic tables at every spot. Gravel road from both directions is choppy but ok. Can only go up to 30mph without bouncing too much. Worth it. Tent and pull through spots. No cell service.

Rustic and wooded

I was here on a Thursday and there were 2 other sites taken by the end of the night. This is off a backroad (dirt) that is somewhat well traveled.  So the campground is petty accessible by any vehicle. But the campground is tucked between the river and the road. There was 0 traffic all night, but a few cars by the morning. There is 1 vault toilet and all sites have a picnic table and fire ring. There is parking for 2 cars at each site, but more space to park close by.  No tent pads but the ground is clear for easy tent placement. It is very quiet at night other than the gurgling river. It is thickly wooded and plenty of shade. This is in a small valley that runs East/West, but the sun doesn't pop over the mountains until late and it sets early. This is a free first-come/first-serve campground.
