The campground is beautiful but the camp host was a complete nightmare…read more I don't recommend doing the first come first serve camping even though the website directs you to, because the host doesn't update the reservation signs on time and then will kick you out due to it. We had looked up the campground on line ahead of time and thoroughly read through their first come first serve policy. We were nervous about getting a spot so we were there at 10 am. The directions are: Step 1.Check the reservation signs Step 2. Find a site that doesn't have reservations for that day. Step 3. Pay for the site in cash, fill out the envelope, hang the pass in your vehicle. We did everything exactly how it said. I even called a friend who had been camping there for decades to double check the instructions. The camp host sign said "camp host is off duty" so there was no one on sight to check in with. We stayed at our site until 12:30 setting up and playing cards. Then we left to the river to swim. When we came back at 5 with two wet, hungry kids to cook dinner, someone else was in our campsite. They were very nice and I realized they must have double booked our site. That was a bummer but not that big of a deal. I could have just gone to a different site. The other guest wasn't mad, I wasn't mad, it was a simple mistake. The issue was that I had dropped my 12 year old daughter off at the bathroom that was only a few sites down but the road was a one direction road so I had driven the loop around and she showed up at the site before me and was sent away so I had to go find her before I could more my stuff. She had panicked when the host tried to lecture her and she ran off to find me. There was no phone reception so I had to go find her. Once I had my daughter I came back and we started packing up. The female host came and was very aggressive towards us. I explained that we followed all the steps and the reservation sign clearly was for yesterday and not today. The male host asked her if she had updated the reservation sign. She said "yes I did it at 10am." But we had got there at 10:30 and it wasn't updated. We were there until 12:30 and it still wasn't updated. It was clearly her fault but she was yelling at us. I raised my voice and told her to stop speaking to us with so much disrespect. I said we were leaving and there was no need for her to yell at us. Then my daughter and I went back to packing. The host had moved all of our stuff and put our clothes in the dirt. The guests who had also books the site kept apologizing to us. They were very sweet and I told them it was ok and not their fault. When we were done packing up the ranger came. I explained the situation and he asked if he could find us another site. He said there were plenty. I thanked him but my kids had already been traumatized and I had to get them home. The ranger had the right response, this wasn't an emergency or a crime like the Host was making it out to be, it was a simple misunderstanding. Oh and there was no way for them to reimburse me because my payment was in a lock box and it was after 5 on a Friday. So my conclusion and advice to campers is 1. I hope they don't keep that host and 2. If you are camping do not do the first come first served option even though the website tells you to. We were lucky to only live 2 hours from home but if you traveled further and then was treated like this it could be a real emergency and leave you scrambling to find a place to stay.

The owner told me it wasn't, and then gave me very detailed directions there. I could tell he was a character, and he did not disappoint. When I arrived there was no wind, and it's a beautiful spot, flat and very easy access off the road but definitely private. Since I wasn't sure which site to choose he walked the entire park with me, teaching me about the different trees and showing me each site. He spotted a weed and we stopped so he could pull it. He's a treasure. Ps, he built it all himself many years ago, landscaped it and cut all the trails as well! I'd guess him to be near 80.

It made a great home base for exploring the area. We stayed in Site 66. While the site itself was nice, it was a little closer to Highway 101 than I would have preferred. Next time, I would choose a site farther back in the campground for a quieter experience. The campground amenities were clean and well-maintained. They offer showers, restrooms, tv hookups, and a small on-site store stocked with basic necessities. They also sell firewood, which was very convenient. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely consider returning, especially if we could snag a site a bit deeper in the park.

The facilities are dated, HOWEVER, you can tell they take great pride and include little thoughtful details like clips on the shower curtains for added privacy, bath mats for outside the stalls and water taps at each tent site.

They are so sweet and accomidating and you can tell that they have put their hearts and soul into this little gem. If you're looking for new and fancy, this isn't your place. If you're looking for salt of the earth folks, hot showers, flush toilets and don't mind a few critters in the wash houses (open 24/7 by the way!) then I highly recommend this spot.
