This is a lovely campsite with ample room. I enjoyed the wild black berries and the rogue tarantula roaming the grounds.
I reached out to this magnificent creature and it touched me back. Then it was interested in crawling on me and I decided that was not a good idea so I let it be to hunt for food or a mate. I just kept an eye on the paths in case this beast was roaming where I was walking.
Unfortunately, the bathrooms were a bit aromatic at the time but I think that could be easily remedied.
I camped with my daughters age 14 and 19 and they enjoyed catching up with each other on the rocks in the middle of the stream. Other guests were overall respectful.

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.
