Great little campground, until the fire went through.  Most of it survived, but fire damage is present adjacent to the road and along the trails.

It can sometimes be crowded with ATV and motorbikes, but most the time they are courteous and polite. 

I enjoyed panning in the creeks around the area because there are neat dark red and purple garnet to be had.  Only found a speck or two of gold, so I am glad I was looking for garnet and not gold.

Traveled from N. Idaho and Montana to here multiple times over the year - definitely worth the trip, especially since they paved the road.
