Stayed here one night on our way to Alaska. The sites have lots of trees for some privacy. Just like the last comment, that did not stop Starlink from working. The price did go up to $25.

Stopped here on my way back toward home in the US and found the place mostly abandoned on a Friday night. Sites are pretty private and there is a lot of tree cover but luckily I was able to get Starlink working regardless. This is definitely a fine overnight stay but I can’t imagine staying here for a long time.

“Great for an overnight stay”

Reviewed 7/16/2022

Nightly rate:	$20
Days stayed:	1
Site Number:	22

Overall Rating

Most (perhaps all) spots were pretty shady, so not great for solar. I’d have given 4 stars if the river access were a bit closer to the campground itself. The campground is fairly close to the highway so you can hear traffic but it isn’t bad and quiets down considerably at night. Dry camping only. I didn’t visit the pit toilet ... more
