This was the first time there were so many trailers and Rvs. I have to say I was in a tent site. There were a lot of generators running. The Rv across from me ran its generator till 10:30 P.M. and started the Rv and generator at 4:50 A.M. the next morning. I decided to leave the campsite at 5:45. It used to be a quiet campsite. Not this time. Sad, somehow these folks don't have any rules??

Loop B9
Overall the campground is very nice. Loop B spaces are pretty close together. The placement of the picnic table and fire rings on this site and several others are too close to the neighboring space.. B9's is actually closer to the neighbor than our own camper. If you don't need electricity Loop A sites are far more spacious and spread out and nicely treed with ponderosas.
Cell service sporadic at best; no voice, only text and data.

A great campground. Very clean. We appreciate the waterless toilets. They are perfectly clean
and Never an Odor! It is quiet and the Hosts keep it nice. We love the walking and hiking and great views
from the hills. We have been camping there since the top portion with water and electric since it opened.
Thank You all.

We had a great time and will be back!
Camp host was great. Weather and area was beautiful. 2 things to consider:Cell service if you have Verizon was good others you had no service. Make sure you fill up your trailer or bring your water. Only water spouts to fill up totes by bathrooms.
