Very nice layout

Great campground, well laid out and very clean and maintained. Camp host on site very informative and friendly. 23 sites but only 5 are FF. $23/$11.50 senior per nite. Water spigots, vault toilets, tables, fire rings trash dumpsters and shade canopies. Everything is good shape and working order. Cell signal was a surprise and att, Verizon and TMobile seem to have couple bars LTE. Only downside is this entire area was burned by a wildfire in 2006 and all trees around are dead and no shade. The CG does seems to have some planted pines but only 10ft tall at the moment. There are also 4-5 group sites and they are $127 nite.

Great campground. Spots aren't too close together.

Great campground.  The sites are separate enough where you're not to close to your neighbors.  The area was burned several years ago, so there are no trees.  However, the grass has grown back in and its still a very, VERY beautiful campground (IMO). I was able to get a spot on back to back weekends despite not having a reservation (Lucky, maybe).b The bathrooms are clean and if you park further back in the campground, that bathroom has a flushable toilet, sink and an air dryer for your hands. Pretty impressive.

Great place to camp after fishing.

I love staying here after fishing the green river. Its in between Little hole and Dutch John. I stayed on Memorial day weekend and there was still plenty of room. Lots of big spots for tent of trailers. Really nice tables and pavilions and nice bathrooms.
