This campground is beautiful! The sites are small, and they truly fit only one car, but they’re flat and tidy. There are 4 vault toilets for the 18 sites, and they were cleaned and stocked daily. The camp steward was very sweet and helpful. The highlight of our experience was the location - very near the creek and within walking distance to a gorgeous swimming/fishing hole. Heaven on earth, in my opinion!

Great site (minus the rocky ground if you have cheap tent stakes), good basic accommodations, fantastic on-site staff.

The site was nice, off in the corner away from the others; however, it wasn't level which made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. Everyone was nice/respectful, but of course their were a few rowdy folks after the quiet hours started and some of the vehicles going by on the highway had really loud music/bass. I wasn't happy with a few of the people smoking cigarettes on the campground and at the swimming hole, but it's not my place to dictate the choices that others make. The facilities were clean and, overall, it was a great experience with absolutely beautiful scenery. The night surprised me by getting nice and cool. Our two dogs had a wonderful time as well!

I gave it a poor overall rating because of the emergency evacuation orders we had to go through. We were unable to enjoy but one night of a 7 day camping trip. Not much fun was had and were very disappointed. The other point is that I am having problems getting a refund for the 6 nights that I paid for which this has contributed to the unsatisfactory rating.
