Good not great *be bear aware*

Nice and quite considering how close it is to town. There doesn't seem to be an official way to get from the camp sites to the river despite being only a few feet away. People have bushwacked their own trails through. We are here in mid September so not much in the way of bugs. The toilet is clean and well stocked for a pit toilet. Lots of bear warning signs around so be sure to bring your bear boxes and bear spray.

Okay, but not as nice as copper king down the road

I drove in here looking for a campsite. There are four in total, and only one is spacious. The rest are surrounded by tall grasses and don't seem to have much room for a tent. If site one hadn't been taken, I may have stayed there.

dog feces and mosquitoes

I had to clean up campsite shoveling out a bucket of fresh dog cr ap left by irresponsible filt hy idi ot who let the dog poop all over for multiple days without cleanup, which is illegal and disrespectful of public property. Flies infested the campsite landing on everything, on food and it smelled like a toilet in the sun, large amounts of dog crap were everywhere. They should require a license to own a dog. The camp is very scenic, is on a small river and near a small grove of huge old cedars. However, mosquitoes had been horrendous to the point it's not possible to enjoy a campsite or eat in it, even my car got so filled by mosquitoes that they kept biting me for a long time after I drove out to town. Other camps in the general area have no mosquitoes. This place being humid and having lots of marshy grasses by the river is where they are in unusual numbers. It's good for overnight sleepover if you have a van or truck camper and don't plan to spend time outside, though you might be enjoying the smell of massive dog toilet left by a tras hy person.
