I enjoyed how small the place was and it wasnt too crowded! It had a river right behind us that was perfect!

Very nice campground with aspens and a creek. The bathrooms were clean and our reservation was marked for us. We recommend site #9, which is further from the highway and pretty secluded.

This campground is right along the highway! There are semi’s and lights distrusting your sleep. Only the camp sights along the creek have access to the creek. There is no water at all.

Sites are big and well-spaced, which was nice; we had a location near the creek, which was lovely to listen to at night. This campground is right off the highway, so it is as loud as you might imagine during the day but reasonably quiet at night. Vault toilets and port-a-potty were out of toilet paper most of our stay; vault toilet doors don't lock.

No bear boxes, a bear broke into the bed of my truck, broke our cooler and ate everything. They need to put bear boxes here badly. I left after one night.

Nice campground. Access to small creek. The ranger was great. Bathrooms there too. I loved it. Aside from the road right next to our site.

Nice, simple campground. Easy to find and get to, close to major road. Some road noise during the night. Very basic facilities, no running water. A rather noisy group during the first night close to our site was partying until 2 or 3 am. The location of the campground in the forest close to a little creek was lovely. Fun arae for little kids to play by the water. However, to get to the closest trailhead you need a car.

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!!!
