TravelerThis spot is just after the turnoff forest road 25 toward Mosquito Meadows. No need to go two miles, all the mosquitos are at this spot! Not unexpected since it’s by a creek, but still a drawback.
The spot is small and surrounded by trees, but within hearing of forest road 25, which is pretty busy
TravelerPerfectly fine, especially considering the low low price of $0. Sites no closer together (honestly, more spacious than) the average KoA I’ve paid $60-$90 to pop up a tent in.
I chose a spot closer to the road than the lake, but if I’d arrived before 7:45 other spots would have been available, I’d imagine.
TravelerThis is a perfectly lovely campsite! A bit close together, but it’s free!
GuideThis campground is fairly primitive. It’s also fairly inexpensive. I Boondock in a tent site and it was very lovely. It is obviously an older campground from the days when Highway 30 was the main road through the gorge.
This campground is not patrolled by Rangers every day they come through probably twice a day. It is not clean or kept up and the only reason I left four stars instead of five is because the flesh toilets are not working. And I do believe they could fix that problem even though I don’t even know what the problem is. It’s hard to say.
I like the fact that it’s not properly maintained and the roads all swept and the pinecones all gone. I appreciate the rustic and even though it’s relatively close to I 84 the noise becomes background and you can convince yourself. It’s a creek.
The other reason, I only left four stars is because the hiking trails are not marked and that would be very helpful
If you want a quiet out-of-the-way spot, this is a good one.
Scoutpros ..Quick access from I-84 cons.. lots of road noise and trains
GuideThe train came through. It was noisy boy they were not kidding. Small spaces.
TravelerA nice site to view how mother nature makes quick work at taking back her spaces. Getting to the point a 4x4 is required and no RVs unless small.
TravelerThis is an open area near the lake with room for at least a dozen different campsites. On a Friday night, there was everything from trailers to tents. People were courteous and the noise from generators, dogs, music, etc didn’t go too late. I’d come back here. Port-a-potties here, but no water or trash service.
ScoutBeautiful and quiet. Bathrooms were amazingly clean and sites were spacious and pretty well spread apart! Discover Pass or Discover Day Pass is required to stay there. Would recommend!
