"Reviewers overwhelmingly love Bertha Creek Campground for its beautiful, peaceful mountain setting next to a fast-flowing creek and small waterfall. It’s consistently described as a small, quiet, first-come-first-served campground with basic facilities and good site privacy. A few downsides mentioned include mosquitoes, some highway proximity, and limited site availability due to the campground’s small size."
