This is a lovely remote spot. I reserved it for just my wife and me in a Class B RV. We visited, then decided to leave. There is no camp host. We were all alone at the end of a one-lane road with no cell service. A bad guy and his accomplice could have easily blocked the road, stolen our camper (or worse), and we would have had no way to summon help. With a third (or more) person(s), or a gun, we might have stayed, but we would have slept with one eye open. Perhaps we have watched too many scary movies like Deliverance. That said, the site is great for bigger groups.

Campsite and service were fantastic. We would enjoy more trees for hammocks. The hiking trail needs lots of work. It hasn't been cleaned in years. Trees and bushes everywhere on the trail.

Enjoyed the privacy and solitude of this Recreation area. Close to home so I could go home and take care of my animals. Great for a family reunion type weekend with like minded people.

very spacious area to set up tents great View of the stream easy access for fishing very close are you to put in canoe Upstream to float down and fish the only concern I would have is if it was raining it could be a little muddy other than that highly recommended great family location

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

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!!!
