We camped at site 13. Large level site with table and fire pit, easy access. At the time we were here it was all FCFS, but it looks like they may be switching to a reservation system soon. We paid $20 per night at the entrance pay machine that accepts credit cards. We were then allowed us to choose either camping area and site we wanted to. We camped at the lower campground, River campground. River campground has a lot of mature trees for shade (and they were planting more), nearly every site can handle a big rig, just watch for some overhead branches in some sites. The road to the campground (FYI take care at the railroad crossing, there is a big bump, especially if you are towing) and in the campground were all paved as well as most of the sites. Fairly level, table, fire pit, some with BBQs and some with ramadas, pit toilets in the center of the campground and then a shower/flush toilet building at the entrance. Three individual toilets and three individual free showers. Trash dumpster near the restroom building and lots of smaller trash cans at many of the sites. There are also many water spigots around the campground. On the way down to the River Campground there is a nice dump station to the right and some unnumbered, overflow type camping in a gravel lot to the left. In this gravel lot there was a EV charging station. Further down the road before the curve down, there was another overflow type gravel camping area. The campground has 22 numbered sites and then 3 sites in a smaller gravel lot that had power for an additional $10. I would not recommend Westside for large rigs.

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.

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.

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!!!
