Very Quiet Creekside Campground for Families
Camped here June 26 - July 1 2022 and had the campground almost to ourselves. The first night, there was a family who went home the next day. On the last night, an old couple stayed there for the night and were gone the next day. On the day of our departure, which was a Friday, a family arrived. Basically, we had the campsite for ourselves during the weekday - so if you like that idea, come on a weekday.
There are 5 campsites with fire grates and a picnic table. The best site would be 5 and 4 which is right at the water. However, 5 (which was where we were at) is the penthouse of campsites because of the shade + water access. Site 1 has the best shade at the cost of being beside the vault toilets (wasn't smelly though). The rest, you will be toast under the sun. So, ideally have a canopy of some sort.
Site 1: Best Shade / Beside vault toilet
Site 2: No shade
Site 3: No shade
Site 4: Water access / no shade
Site 5: Water access + shade
The area has been engulfed in wildfire back in 2021 so probably the reason why not so many choose this place, but it is slowly recovering. It is bear country so be responsible enough. However, the only animal we saw during our week stay was a deer - besides chipmunks and squirrels. Oh, lots of mosquitoes and flies. Come prepared.
If you like to hike, there is a trailhead at the end of the NF road going north. The road is surprisingly well-maintained. You would have to ride your car going there as it is far.
If site is packed (on probably rare occasions), there are lots of disperse areas you can occupy. There's one up north not very far from the campground that can probably fit 3-4 cars in and 3-4 tents.
Do not go during unstable weather as the risk of flash floods are high due to past wildfire.
