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.

Clean shaded campsites in the A loop. B loop sites are right next to each other. Friendly host. Good hiking trails nearby. Potable water for drinking but not available to fill RV and no dump station.
