Underrated Campground

Awesome campsite, good host. Little Naches is just across the road with some beautiful native trout. Spacious site with plenty of room for parking, large tent, fire, hammock, picnic table.

Underwhelming

The description says “flush toilets,” reality says vault toilets (clean though). Description says “potable water”; reality says one hand pump that doesn’t work. The sites are well spaced and surrounded by trees, hills and a gorgeous river nearby. We give it a lower score because of the noisy, rude, obnoxious OHV enthusiasts running their motorcycles and buggies until after sundown, but that pales in comparison to the knucklehead firing off magazine after magazine from his AR every night. Fie! We won’t be back.

Pretty good

There were bathrooms and the sites were relatively private. It also wasn’t a far walk to the river which was nice. Overall I enjoyed my time.
