Actually quite a good campground for being free ($10 suggested donation per night). If you really want free there are many dispersed sites nearby. Bear boxes provided. Sites vary in shade, privacy, size. There are several very nice sites. No garbage services that I could find. There are little pieces of obsidian all over the ground.

This place is a fun little motel. The interior of my room was full of country decor, which I like. I was there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and boy was it busy because there was a music festival nearby. The worker, Maddy, sure had her hands full. I can't belive one person ran that whole place by herself. She was really helpful to me and even let me use her cell phone as my wasn't working. The only low point was Monday morning when I was leaving. I was having my morning coffee in the fantastic patio area and I guess a manager was there with her dog and she started to bad mouth the other worker as I'm just trying to be peaceful and i didn't want to hear it. I felt really uncomfortable. Plus the dog wouldn't stop barking so I left. Other than that I would recommend this place. Close to stores and restaurants.

This campground is operated as on the basis of a suggested donation of $10 per night which makes it a great deal. There is no water pump, but yiu can collect water from a natural spring. There are two toilets but the campgrounds closest to the water are about a three minute walk from the toilets.

Steve the camp host was great. Had clean bathrooms (pit toliets) and was very quiet the night we were there. Close to fishing and hunting.
