Great place
Good sites all right next to the creek. Hot springs just a short jaunt up the trail at the end of the campground. Great hosts.
Great campground
Stayed here for a few days. Friendly hosts. Clean bathrooms and great sites right by the creek. The hot spring is just a 1/4 mile walk up a path at the end of the campground. Definitely recommend this place.
Loved this campground!
We were there during off season and had the best time. Only a few others were there. We had a great site right in the river close to the toilet. It was a bit of a walk to the Hotsprings but worth it:) we had a 23 foot camper van and had no issues getting there. The road was a low maintenance road with some pot holes but no issues.
