Customer Reviews
Roadside camping, first come first serve which is very convenient. Hwy 89 us very noisy all night long. The camping spaces are set up oddly and there isn't any privacy between spaces. 1 night worked for us. Pit toliet was very clean! The river is gorgeous!
one of my go-to spots — I try to come out here about once a year for some tent camping. The campground is clean, peaceful, and there’s plenty of shade, which is a huge plus. It’s right by the river, so you can enjoy that cool mountain water, and it’s not far at all from the village if you need supplies or want to grab a bite. I’ve never had any issues here — it’s always been a chill, safe place to relax. Lots to do nearby, whether you're into hiking, fishing, or just hanging by the water. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a solid campground up in the pines.
We camped here for 4 days in June with a big rig. As everyone says, road noise takes some getting used to and is less than ideal. Views of the river are 🤩 and it’s easy to access - a little beach area of sorts we found near site 38. Some sites were very unlevel - our site, #40 being one of them. We managed okay but the asphalt was very lumpy and uneven. Our friends had site #39 and it was very flat and easy for a big rig. Both sites were good spots for Starlink. Every site is spacious, provides large picnic tables and a bear locker for food storage if needed. Water spigots are throughout camp but we ended up having to dump our tanks 4-5 miles away at a Chevron for $7 with the purchase of fuel. As for location, it was 40 minutes to the beautiful Sand Harbor Beach area and 45-50 minutes down
Easy in and out of the campsites with all of the pads that we could see paved. Potable water spigots and (clean) vault toilets scattered throughout. Waste receptacles are regularly serviced and near all the vault toilets. The park is very clean but there is some significant highway noise that persists all day and night which eliminates the sounds of the river. The trees are trimmed sufficiently to prevent RV scraping but it’s still a good idea to maintain awareness. Site 59 sloped toward the river by 6” and to the right by 2”. You might need to back your tires onto lift pads to help achieve level. Several of the sites we checked are similar to various degrees. Our 38’ coach fit fine with room to spare and no side scuffing. I’d stay here again just for the river view and wonderful pine smel
Bring earplugs if tent camping! Only reason for two stars instead of one was because my site #34 had a nice little spot where people had cleared out the rocks in the river which made a great place to relax in the water after my bike rides! I knew it was next to the road, but the traffic doesn’t die down until after 10pm and starts up again around 5am. It’s also inconsistent so it’s not a “white noise” that can lull you to sleep. Spots are close together and of the five near me only two have good spots for tents. Spots 32 & 33 should really only be one based on size, but since there are two tables and two food boxes, they count it as two. Lots of wildlife here though! I’ve seen a mink, river otters, a snake, plenty of chipmunks and even had a bear checking out my water bottles at 4:45am
