Information

Large campground, with basic facilities, only a stones throw from a great swimming hole.

This is quite a large campground, and fairly level and some shade available.

The springs/creeks are an excellent spot to spend a really long time and get prune fingers... The hot springs feed into the Douglas River and mix with the cooler water. This means you get beautiful warm water, and a sandy bottom. Truly relaxing. Where the springs enter, it is pretty hot, so you might want to try a bit further up or downstream.

The other thing that is pretty cool about this campground is the fact that they have a no-generator section. Nothing worse than camping next to someone who is sitting in their van, watching TV and running a generator.
