Trashy site with a pretty creek

The sites are a nice size and the creek running through is great. There is also a beautiful section of the river across the road that you can easily access. All of this greatness comes with some very messy people that have absolutely taken residence at the campground. They have sprawled out a surprising amount of things to make their >14 day stay cozy. There is a ton of trash in most of the fire pits as well. If a maintenance crew hits this place it would be stellar. 50/50 on if it will be better when y’all come through.

Get away from it all.

Semi quiet camping with a nice stream and vault toilets. Close to Fires creek picnic area which has a nice paved walking trail.
