This used to be much better than it is currently. Like some other reviews have pointed out, websites like the dyrt and books like Ray's Guides have brought a completely different vibe to the place. I see this as a symptom of the shortage of primitive camping spots in the coast range. We have way more people in the state now (and everywhere for that matter) and no new campgrounds. Some have even closed, so there are fewer spots for more people. Not too long ago reservations were not necessary to get a yurt, for instance.

This campground has definitely picked up a seedy vibe in the last couple years. Though, the horse people are not correct, horse camps are also officially available to tents without horses. Says so on the USFS website. Though, again, if we had enough campgrounds we'd be thrilled to let them have their own and I certainly can't blame them for want that.
