Nice view from the upper camp area, clean amenities, very busy at night with lots of car campers but overall a decent stopover.

Arrived late however plenty of room. Nice and flat with rough slashed grass on the lower level which was appreciated. Didn't use provided toilets as we were self contained. Nice and quiet with good vibe. Thank you to those who provided this area.

Free camp in a lovely spot next to a lake and well away from houses, main roads. The sealed road is used by logging trucks.Not far from the pretty hamlet of Ellendale which also seems to offer free a overnight stopping site for RV's. There are toilets here but no drinking water. Good shelter structure on lower level, upper level is very exposed.
