A great place for family camping. Has vault toilets and showers but they were not accessible during our trip. The campgrounds were very clean and the bathrooms were maintained daily. Beware if you are a t-mobile customer... you will not have reception here. Cell reception was lost in Murphy. A short walk down to the river to dip your feet and some fishing. The sites are first come, first served and each site is allowed 2 cars. You can make payment with cash or check. There is also a camp host onsite which we did not need during our 4 day stay. Lots of other attractions within 20 minute drive including a small market and gas station about 5 minutes down the hill.

This is the greatest campground I have ever stayed at. Very friendly host. Gorgeous river, and scenery. There are showers and bathrooms, the grounds are always well kept and clean. everyone is always respectful and friendly. There is plenty to explore and it's great for the kids. Love it here.

Great campsites. I visited *after* the 4th of July and it wasn't crowded at all, maybe 20% of the spaces were occupied? There are "walk in" and "drive up" spaces. Both were nice, but more mosquitos in the walk in sites though by far (bring a mosquito coil and DEET, leave the citronella at home). There are accessible versions of both sites and group sites (up to six people and two cars per site), all for $20. Quiet time is 10pm to 6am. No campfires but stoves are OK. Between every 10ish sites is a vault toilet and a potable water spigot (no soap in the bathrooms). There's a single flush toilet at the entrance, there's a shower too but I wasn't brave enough to try it. Nearest store was in Camp Connell, 5 mi down from the Bear Road/Hwy 4 turn off, they had everything you could need (🧊, meds

Mid September 2021 First come, first serve campsite with at least 50 campsites (drive up and walk to sites). Paved concrete roads. We arrived on a Saturday morning @ 11am and there were plenty of campsites available. They started to fill up around 2pm but there were still available spots. The campsites are spaced a healthy distance away from others. Each site has a campfire pit and a picnic table. Unfortunately due to wildfires, no fires were aloud (though som people still had fires anyway 👎 rangers shut that down). Has Vault toilets and dumpsters. All the water fountains were not operating. We had several water containers, so we filled one with river water to wash our hands and dishes. Easy access to the river. We saw hundreds of dragon flies and butterflies flying over the river 🦋 B

Beautiful camping by the river! Lot's of swimming holes. Nice variety of campsites. No street noice. Most parking spots are right on campsites. The campground has water & non flushable toilets. No bear lockers or showers, but we surely survived with a nice river swim!
