Nice nature sites
Nice camp sites with compartments for little privacy. No hook-ups. Everything pretty old. Restrooms not really clean and little over the years. But the sites are nice with lot trees. Very friendly and supportive manager Frank
Excellent little campground !
Nice big sites set far apart from each other. Excellent camp host who keeps everything very clean. He even delivered our firewood.

A family favorite
Whispering Falls is a family favorite!
Beautiful scenery, river access, monarch butterflies, spacious spots, and great trails. Dark enough for stargazing; we were able to see Saturn and Jupiter.
