Free campground with an optional suggested donation of $10. There's a camp host, clean pit toilets scattered around, and a lot of spacious sites to choose from. There are some trees here, but we found a sunny spot for solar. There isn't a view of the mountains like you get at some boondocking spots around here, but we like having a bathroom.
Verizon got one bar, and T-Mobile got around two, but got up to four in some of the spots further back. We had to drive down the road to upload files at one point. There's a rest area with flush toilets and water down the road. No dump station at either spot. It's a 15 minute drive into town, and not far from lakes and hot springs either.
This is a spot for off-roading, but they didn't drive through the campsite so it didn't bother us. Road noise was very minimal, and if you pick a spot further back you might not hear it at all.

There are oodles of OHV trails around so you will hear some UTVs etc, especially on weekends.

We stopped by Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. About 3/4 full. Easy access for big rigs. We’d definitely come back during mid-week. Free, but donation requested. I gave it a 3 for noise only because it’s obviously a popular place for off-roading, but it was quiet when we drove through.

It's free.
Very clean vault restroom.
No water, but the highway rest area is a couple of miles away.
Glass creek runs through the campground. So many rainbow trout can be found there. Bring the fishing pole.

If you like dry camping/Boondocking in close quarters then this is the campground for you. Yes they have fire pits, yes they have picnic tables, yes they have vault toilets but every campsite is full, lots of people, lots of vehicles, lots of atv’s and lots of noise. We spent one nights in July and said never again.

Don't even bother because you cannot get a space! We have been coming for years, but on our last trip we tried to get in for 10 days and it was always full. There is a 21 day stay limit, but people ignore it. They park their rigs up there for the entire summer and visit them whenever they feel like it. Others live there full time for months until it closes for the winter. Ordinary people on vacation don't have a prayer. It is outrageous that the Forest Service has allowed this to happen!

We arrived around 3:00 on a Friday and got the last spot and stayed for 3 days and not too many people left. If they did leave someone came in and took that spot.
Great place for big rigs, both tall and long. Many sites could accommodate 2 or 3 rigs. Only one section had low hanging branches if your rig is tall. That section is near site 37 on the outside perimeter. If you enter at the first entrance on your right, go left right before or right after site 40. If you continue straight the road loops left past site 37 you will see those low branches.
If you take the second right entrance you will see the two group areas. Straight leads you to back in sites kind of near the creek. Turn left and go over the creek for more sites. These seemed more dusty due to OHV trails.
Great area for accessing off-road trails. There was not a camp host and very few rules posted (quiet hours and camp in designated sites) but all campers in our vicinity were quiet. We had a great FREE experience here!

We were here Wednesday after Memorial Day and there was NO one, but I think our experience was not the norm. We stayed on the south side of the campground and the sites there are backed up to beautiful woods, and not super close to the others. If you’re looking for more quiet, go over the bridge to these sites. Had pit toilets and fire rings. Lots of beautiful obsidian stones everywhere. We also took a hike that started at the dead end on the most western end of the campground. It follows the creek up.. we didn’t finish it cause it was getting dark and didn’t want to risk bears but it seemed like you could go pretty far! Loved this site so much!
