Campsite is beautiful, you can select from a number of tent pads that have been formed into the hillside at the group camp. The only thing that confused us was that the gate was shut for entry to the campground, with no signage to clarify that we simply could open the gate and drive in. After waiting a bit at the entrance, thankfully a car drove up from inside the campground and explained that it was in fact open and we could enter.

Great site for kids, with lots to explore nearby. The men's restroom was closed at our site, which was inconvenient since we had to double up on one potty. The tent pad are very nice, flat and easy to stake into. Overall, a great site. We've already planned our group's next visit!

Please wash down the site.
Flies happen in nature - but they were especially bad as there was spilled food all over the picnic area. Perhaps a hose and some water would help.
Need some instructions on how to open those bear proof trash containers! Bears can't read but us humans can - and 8 of us never did get one open. Carried our trash out - which is more than I can say for others that used the space.
