This was a wonderful campsite. We fortunately had the whole campground to ourselves other then the camp host checking things out very regularly. The Restroom was very clean and had extra air fresheners. The sounds from the road were annoying but slightly masked by the sounds of the river covering them up. We would definitely camp here again.

Absolutely beautiful spot... a bit of noise from the highway since it is very close. But the river provides a lot of excellent white noise for going to sleep, and small hiking trails up the mountain can be found all over the site. Site 1 feels set apart from all the other camp sites so it has a more private feel. Very green and thick veggitation.

The campsite would not fit our camper at all and it's way under the max length. There would have been no way for us to even back the camper into the spot -- (campsite 08). Even if the trailer could have been backed into it, it would have been flipped the wrong way and it was on an edge so we would not have been able to get in or out of the camper. This is definitely not a campsite that is worth going to if you have a camp trailer, or unless you have a little tiny one.

There was no dumpster for garbage and the camp host was nowhere to be found. Otherwise, camp is nice and toilet kept very clean.

Great little place! Not much to do around the area, but the campsites were clean and well taken care of. When the wind would pick up, you would get pine needles and the occasional bug that would blow onto the table or chairs - just something to be aware of! We'll likely camp here again!

The camp host was very helpful! The location was clean and shaded, it was a bit noise due to the highway but that didn’t effect our stay

The water out of the well was light brown?

Camp host was gone the entire time. Neighbor played loud music and they did not have any toilet paper in the restroom.

The potable drinking water was very sketchy. It was the color of urine... Someone needs to take a look at that. Also, please remove the north vault toilet from the map if they aren't going to be useable. Some people actually plan their stay with the proximity to s bathroom in mind.

Although the campsite itself (1) was nice it was right by the road and the traffic never stopped. Had to yell for the person next to you to hear you. Convenient to Cascade.

Camo host is so friendly, accommodating, and nice! The campground is very nicely kept. They just installed some new fire pits that we thoroughly enjoyed. We would definitely stay here again!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
