GuideOk, not great
This campground is right off of the highway so you will be hearing road noise all night long. Fortunately, it’s really drowned out by the river that the campground is next to.
The sites are all ok, standard amenities like pit toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. I wouldn’t go back simply because of how close to the highway this campground is.
There is one really great thing about this campground; it is right next to the trailhead for Tawanamas Falls, a 2.5 out and back (5 miles total) hike to a beautiful waterfall. The campground is only 1/8 of a mile from the trail so you can leave your car/vehicle at the campground.
TravelerOverpriced
Right on the highway. Sure the river may drown out some of the noise, but you can still see all the traffic gong by. Very few amenities for what they charge.
TravelerFalling asleep under the stars and the sound of the rushing river
The campground was nice and well maintained. I wish there was water access for rinsing off things but as long as you’re prepared that there’s very basic amenities, it’s great. The sound of the river is really loud and you can’t really hear fellow campers in the other sites. The sites are huge.
