Very close to water. My son loved it. Not a lot of trees due to damage from fire, no shade.

This place is great. The fires did a lot of damage but they just reopened a few weeks ago. See updated signage in pics. Enjoy!

I stayed at this campground of or two nights in the summer of 2020. This review is based on the facilities and staff, not things regarding the forest itself, which is decimated by a wildfire two years ago thanks to the United States Florist Circus. The campground is located directly off of Highway 108. There are two parts to the camp (East and West). Total there are probably only 20-25 sites. It’s not a large camp. Cost was $19 a night. The roads are entirely dirt, but in better condition than most paved roads up here. However they still need to clean up and made some repairs after the forest fire. The sites are generally well spaced out (at least on the western side). In my case the site was set up in a way that I couldn’t even see my neighbors, although I could see highway. For me, being isolated from others is great. The only problem with the layout was the huge number of people driving into my site thinking it was a through road. There is NO running water here. Bring water; this is dry camping. The bathrooms are put toilets, but were surprisingly very clean thanks to the staff. Speaking of staff, I saw them once in 48 hours. Apparently the hosts don’t camp at this camp, but 10 minutes down the highway. They come around once a day to clean bathrooms. They never drive past my camp and never checked to see if I paid. You could probably get by without paying because the staff is not paying attention. and you wonder why Dodge Ridge Corp is teetering in bankruptcy. All in all a good campground for my purposes. It would have been five stars with running water and a little more attention to clean up post forest fire.

Much of it is burned by the donnell fire. They are slowly cleaning it up. Piles of wood to be hauled out. Too steep to easily fish.

Beautiful and CLEAN!! Bathrooms are very clean as well. We loved it there. The man running the campsite is very nice and attentive to the camp ground. 100% recommend. Only $15 a day.
