Customer feedback highlights the campground's unique charm. One visitor noted: "There are 4 campsites here. Two before the river and two after the river. There is one picnic table on each side of the river. We had a decent amount of water and weak but steady flow in the creek on early September. There were no toilets, no bear boxes and no faucets. There were many mosquitoes, flies and bees." Despite these challenges, guests appreciate the serene environment and the opportunity to connect with nature.

Another visitor praised the campground's natural beauty: "It was bountiful. The campsites before the river are more exposed. The ones after the river are well covered as can be seen in the pictures."
