* petite RV sites (RVs up to 20’ with FHU 20-30 amp- 3)

* deluxe RV sites (RVs up to 29’ with FHU 30-50 amp- 5)

* a cottage

* a tiny home

* camper

* retro bunkhouse

* retro RV 

Site Quality: We were in a deluxe RV site that had a level gravel camper pad, electric hookup, fire ring, and picnic table. Unlike most RV parks, there was a decent amount of foliage between most sites to provide a measure of privacy. 

Bath/Shower House: Two toilets, two sinks, and two showers. Clean but limited privacy for the toilets with just a curtain. Bench and hooks are outside of showers with no other separation so there is a lack of privacy there as well (did not use the shower so I cannot comment on how well it worked, although they looked nice). 

Activities/Amenities:

* Guided and Self-guided hiking tours

* Guided and self-guided mountain bike tours

* a full-day waterfall tour ($75 pp, with 24-hour advance notice)

* whitewater rafting tours

* Stream and river fishing holes

* Fly fishing and hunting

* Kayak rentals on Toketee Lake (We had hoped to do this, but the weather had other plans)

* Wi-Fi is available for $2.99 per 24-hour period per device but it was flaky at best

* There is a store with ice, firewood, food, beer, and wine, apparel, propane, diesel, and gasoline, rafts, and sleds. 

We arrived later than planned (just before dark) and it was cold and rainy the next day so we were not able to take advantage of the many nearby recreation activities but the staff recommended a nearby waterfall hike that we could do in inclement weather. We would definitely consider returning during better weather.

Right off of Interstate 5 near the Seven Feathers Casino is this nice little campground, but you have to put up with some road noise. It is a good place to stay for a night while traveling through.

There are full hook up sites ($29/night) and dry camping sites ($19/night). We were only 1 of 3 campers here. Reservations are accepted though not necessary. The website states no first come first served but we just came and got a spot and the host came by and there was no problem.  The info board at the campground said that walk up sites are available for that night only if the spot isn't reserved.

There are free hot showers, bathroom, water spigots and fountains throughout, garbage (no recycling), and playground. It is well shaded and sites are paved and include picnic tables and fire pits. There is no wifi or firewood for sale.  Sites are paved and pretty level.

Good cell service from ATT, Verizon and TMobile.

These site are fairly shady and private, covered by trees and foliage. The sites at this campground are large enough for an RV or tent. The sites are set up in a grid and if you are further up on the hill you will need to walk a bit through the pathways/camps to get to the restrooms.

There is acess right across the street to a fishing dock and a few picnic tables for a small family event or outing. If you looking for something extra to do, try driving up the road to the Loon Lake resort and restaurant for a bite to eat. We did not go swimming near this site, but if you were to look around there is a flowing river along the road and walk-in area near the Loon Lake resort that you may be able to sneak into.

There is a site with ADA access. All sites are $15/camping and $5/day use vehicle.

You can’t really go wrong with this beautiful area, and this campground is no exception. There is actually what the CG calls a “raft in” (instead of a boat in) location in the campground, which is pretty cool to see. I didn’t personally do this on arrival and didn’t see anyone else taking advantage, but I love the concept and it is easy to see how this would be the perfect spot.

This small campground has a handful of sites all equipped with picnic tables and fire rings (please be careful with open fires as this is wildfire country and has been hit hard in recent years). Almost all of the sites back to the river, which is super unique and cool. Vault toilets are accessible and plenty for the population of people that the campground supports. Day users also come through here in order to gain access to the river and use the facilities, so it’s a bit busier during daylight hours, but peaceful at night.

Reservations are required, supposedly, although if anything is vacant you are welcome to pay on site. Given the popularity heading to recreation.gov to plan your reservation is probably prudent.

A lake, a waterfall, and a hot spring all within hiking distance, what more could you want from a campground? And the lake is next to the campground! There are two reservable loops here. Check the dates on the reserved hang tags carefully as there are a LOT of dates listed for this popular campground. Basic vault toilets that are about ready to be emptied. Every site is about equal with large parking pads, lots of trees, nice solid picnic tables, and good fire pits. The road will be very dusty when dry, so drive slowly here! The only down side was a couple who were digging through the trash for recycling, yelling and screaming at each other. Later they were up at the hot spring as well, still screaming, still digging for cans and bottles. 

Be sure to hike to the waterfall and to the hot springs!
