My wife and I spent a few days at this campground and was a nice place to stay. We camped at site #7 and found that was pretty much the best site if you are looking to be away from others. The site was large and very wooded which we like when camping. ||The camp hosts were very nice and helpful with questions we had. They also drove around the campground periodically just to “check on things” and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. ||The big drawback were the vault toilets, they weren’t very clean and probably the smelliest we have ever experienced. I get it, they are not like flush facilities but were by far the worst we have seen.

Drinking water well in the back loop was out of service. Large potholes all over the campground road were not filled or patched. Bathroom in the middle section of the campground was closed.
The campground road is in dire need of either repaving or converting to gravel.
Campsites are very scenic with ample woods and vegetation between sites. Few are on the actual river, however, and there are only a couple stairways to access the river along the campground's half mile of water frontage.
Most sites on the river don't have a great view of the water because trees and vegetation between sites and the river aren't trimmed back.
Bathrooms were extremely clean, but considering overall infrastructure maintenance I'd say the state does far better keeping up their campgrounds than the federal forest does here.
There was no onsite host in July 2024...
