Actually the traffic and train noise wasn't as bad as I remembered it from years ago but it is still there. The campsite we were in was pretty tight for two tents and one had to be setup on the parking pad. The campground was full but there aren't a ton of sites, people noise was very minimal. Big trees, toilets, convenient water sources, easy access for an early morning hike up eagle Creek.

TERRIBLE...! Even thinking about it makes me angry... the train blaring it's horn every other hour makes it IMPOSSIBLE to get some shut eye... they should have mentioned this in the details. Very disappointed. Worst nights sleep I've ever had, and it's not even close. I got a weird bite on my rump! It's all swollen and gross! I think there's an infestation of these things or something because, there's no escape! If you think of staying here, DON'T! It's terrible.

If you are a train or semi truck enthusiast this may be the best campsite for you. All night long you will get to hear the powerful engines and train whistles. It never lets up! Beautiful location but maybe bring ear plugs.

Really cool area with pretty neat history. Off the freeway, you take a left... the individual sites are to the right. You have to reserve and pay for the group campground, so if you go wandering up there, don't be surprised if you're asked to leave. Every time we go, it seems like there's someone who gets curious and pops in. Just a heads up is all. The host is really really nice but they were sure to let us know when we weren't abiding by the rules. Which is good. So no shenanigans!Such a beautiful place though! Oh yeah, watch out for the poison oak! Also, if you're on the West side of the site you can hear the freeway traffic on I-84 pretty good.

Worst night of sleep I ever had. The road noise was ridiculous...and the train blaring it's horn every few hours. Camp host was quite unfriendly and went out of her way to ignore me. A very bad energy up here. Would never come back to this spot.
