"This campsite is down a hill and sproul's pretty far. We counted at least four fire pits and there may be more than that. It can be hard to find a level place for your tent. This is definitely one of the sites where there's one or two fire pits that have decently level spots and a lot of other places that I would rate as two or three out of five. Outside of having a little bit of trouble finding a spot the campsite is very pretty. Located right beside a river with easy access to fresh water. It has the look of a site that used to be much larger and have more options at some point in the past. Small growth has covered a lot of the area around where the campsite is."
"Great site great water nearby with a nice waterfall to put you to sleep"
"Nice peaceful campsite, you will have to go to the left side at the top of the site to get water. I was awaken by the hooting of an owl in the morning. After listening to a waterfall all night, what could be better?"
"Great site right by Anthony Creek. If you have a choice, when you get to the site go to the area on the left by the big Boulder. It is secluded, has its own bear cables and easy access to the creek. Also, bring a swim suit, the creek has nice pools of water to cool off."
"Great campsite with a hidden waterfall"
