Camp ground was great. My only complaint is with recreation.gov. They list this camp ground as first come first serve (FF) is you are trying to reserve less than 4 days from your stay. This is not true. I went to the camp ground and the host said I could not stay there because I had not paid for a reservation and there was no way to pay the host. Site was sending me to host for FF, and host was sending me to site to pay. Get your act together.

The sight was great but there is not a camp host at the moment and several people tried to camp there. We had to have the Forest Service and Sheriff come out to remove one of them. Other than that is was quiet and clean.

Great place to camp with your family and a group of friends. The trail behind the campground is excellent. The restrooms were very clean and in excellent conditions. There wasn't any potable water like there normally is but managed without it.
