Headquarters was very quiet during my stay, so quiet I was the only camper on the B Loop. (Can't beat that!) My campsite was clean, near the water and provided everything I needed...I have to say, though, $30 a night is a little steep for a pit toilet.

Nice campground. I went off season, so it wasn't crowded and was more enjoyable. Space tested my trailer parking ability a bit, but not too bad. River was very low due to lack of rainfall so trout bite was almost nonexistent; but good scenery and photo ops.

Campground is very close to the road, some sites back directly too the road without tree or anything to block road noise. Campground hosts did not seem to be around (or at least I never saw them) and there were some people playing loud music and running generators during quiet hours. The river is great though, really beautiful. There was trash around the river and campground.

High desert camping, sites on the river are best, bigger and further apart. We had 20 and 25. Bathrooms were clean and cared for. Episodic cell reception with verizon,
