Reviews
This primitive campground offers a peaceful retreat with excellent access to the Obed River and surrounding trails, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Reviewers appreciate the shaded sites, clean vault toilets, and amenities like fire rings and picnic benches. However, some sites are closely spaced, and parking can be limited for certain areas. Additionally, the lack of electricity and running water may be a drawback for some campers, along with the poor access road from the northeast.
