Camped there with my daughter a few times from 2004 to 2007. Awesome campground. Big campsites. Lovely beach. Trails galore. Two of the four loops have flush toilets (but no showers, unfortunately). The store at the corner of the main road where it meets the road to the campground has showers to use for a fee-- at least it did back in '07.

We love this campground and have hiked Willow Creek Trail many times. There's actually 4 tent camp sites. One of them is site #0. It looks like on your video that the sign wasn't there for it, so it makes it look like Site #1 has 2 picnic tables and 2 fire rings. 😊 Maybe that's how it used to be?! 🤷‍♀️ Thanks for sharing, guys!

Stopped in at O'haver about 2 weeks ago on a Wednesday. No availability, booked solid. It is a nice place but it's too close to a populated area to hope to just pull in and get a site. The poor camp host already had a line of people there at 9 in the morning, bugging him for availability. I saw him struggling to keep everyone straight so i finally thanked him for his time and left. We were caught up in that situation last year north of pagosa springs, people were flat asses about hovering over the campers that were getting ready to leave and some even unloaded some their items right in around the current campers as the packed up.. Don't get me wrong, i watch your videos all the time but i look for dispersed. Less idiots is a positive...

@@CampgroundRecon have fun! Quick tip, if you have the ability to air down it will definitely smooth out the ride. About five miles of the upper part of the shelf road is pretty slow, rocky and bumpy. Plenty of great dispersed camping and if you want a established campground, Deep Lake is really nice and $6 per night.

I see that the sites include fire rings. Do you recall or know if there is firewood available nearby? For instance, in my last camping trip to Banff National Park, Parks Canada provided free firewood for use in the rings. They had a nearby lot filled with firewood that everyone simply pulled up to, in order to take firewood. They constantly kept it restocked.
@CampgroundRecon

The camp host will have some available for sale. National forest firewood prices vary but I would expect something in the $7 - $10 price range per bundle. Bring cash or check.
