This location is perfect for groups. It has A LOT of space. Additionally, the Bathrooms are quite comfortable, and very clean. There was running water in many areas, and sufficient space for a lot of food to be stored away from bears. The lake is somewhat hiking distance, but I would recommend driving there instead. You can go just down the street to where the Boats are unloaded, there is parking and you can go fishing. The river on the other hand is close by, you can actually hear it at night which makes an amazing sleep. Don’t count on reception. There is none. We had all carriers (AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile/Sprint), none of them worked. But that’s also the beauty of it, people will be disconnected, and connected to nature. This is a Medium Level camping area, by that I mean that, there are bull ants around, as well as bunch of mosquitos. If you know how to treat nature, then nature will treat you right

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!!!
