We stayed here only two nights back in early July '22, wish we would have stayed longer. Absolutely one of our favorites! The paved loops are a bit tight, most sights are small, but we found a few that would fit our 36ft travel trailer. Nice hiking/biking trail connected to the campground, the trees are beautiful!

The paved loops are a bit tight, most sights are small, but we found a few that would fit our 36ft travel trailer. Nice hiking/biking trail connected to the campground, the trees are beautiful! The pit toilets had just been repainted, inside and out, and were in very good order. Water spigots spread throughout the park. No dump station, and I don't recall an trash dumpsters. No Verizon signal, nothing for our booster to boost.

We stayed here for a week during 4th of July 2020. Clean vault toilets and fresh water fill ups. Lots of wildlife and easy fun hiking trails.

We really enjoyed staying here. The campground was well maintained, the vault (toilets (3/4) scattered throughout the park) were very clean, and the water faucets looked like they were (re)placed recently. There’s a few big sites suitable for RVs. The road to the campground was paved recently (beware: the entrance is different then Google Maps tells you. Follow the signs), which made it very accessible.

Each spot has distance and vegetation between each other. Raised BBQ and fire pits at each site. Water available at some some spots and communal water spicket’s available. Vault facilities and paved roads make for a comfortable semi-improved camping area. May trails near by and The town of Burns is just 20 miles South. You can find parking for a few big rigs but plan on boondocking conditions. Other spots are great for vans and tent camping.
