Not terrible

Stayed during the week, so it was pretty quiet. The River was sort of accessible- about a 6 "cliff" with a path down to the river. I thought the river had a bad smell (just really fishy) but you couldn't smell it at the site. The views from the sites are really nice and the water is really calming, but it is right off the freeway.

Cozy little campground right next to a rushing creek you get to listen to all night! Deep fire pits. Well maintained.

Quiet campground, huge site

Lovely, clean campground in a beautiful setting. We loved that our site was right along the river as it lulled us to sleep at night! Our site was quite large.

Loved our stay at Tollgate. Super close to the road, but thankfully all you can hear is the river.
