★★★★★ 5.0 Nathan Haley · Oct 2020

Nice campsite just off the Iron Horse trail. Close enough to be easy to spot and access, but not so close that passing traffic would disturb you in the morning. We stayed 2 weeknights in late September - the first night we took the last 2 spots available, and the second night it was mostly empty. Clean and well maintained restroom. Bring cash to pay the fee.

★★★★★ 5.0 Chris Lahoda · Jun 2022

Great spot, clean and stocked toilet. Only three camp spots but it's seven miles from the nearest trailhead so maybe that's perfect. B the birds and flowers are excellent.

Beautiful spot! I spent a night here in mid August while riding the Palouse to Cascades Trail. The vault toilet was clean. Make sure to bring cash.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jose Canto · Sep 2022

Nice campground. Hiker/biker access only. Clean bathroom/pit toilet. 3 first come, first serve camp spots with no fire ring and a picnic table each site. Also 1 picnic area near the restroom. $12 camp fee as of 09/2022. Yakima River just a short walk 50 yds from camp. Occasional sound of cars passing by the lightly traveled Hwy 10 across the river but not an issue. There's also a railroad across the river too and only heard the train pass by about 3x during my stay from 2pm to 8am. Overall a nice little place to camp if you're biking the Palouse to Cascades trail and would stay there again if I ride that section again.
