Great campground very clean . My wife and I had a wonderful time , the only bad part was some inconsiderate camper decided it was ok to run their generator at 2:00 AM not cool

Very nice campground, It's a bit of pain coming up the hills to get to it but once you are there it is quite nice. Good location, good weather, and great cell service.

Campsite and grounds were nice. However, sites very close together for tent camping (Site A15). Lots of traffic noise from nearby road too at this end. Will get a site closer to entrance next time.

I enjoy this place. Last trip up, it was not crowded. The weather was very rainy,windy and very cold 🥶 early in the season. I still enjoyed my stay. I do recommend the campground. The only problem is trying to get out they come outta the blind spot on the left and they come fast, becareful.

The camp host was so nice! He gave us great advise on hikes, which we took, and we saw SO much wildlife! We had a blast! The sites were clean, and mostly quiet except for a generator. I wish those would be banned, for the noise and air pollution. But otherwise it was a fantastic stay and we would definitely go again. Big thanks to the camp host!

The restrooms should be cleaned daily instead of just weekly. The host should be able to do this instead of running around in the cart and blowing pine needles off the driveways.
