What Guests Are Saying
The group campsite offers a beautiful setting for gatherings, with ample space and well-designed cooking and fire pit areas, making it ideal for larger groups. While some visitors experienced issues with reservations and cleanliness, many praised the site's natural beauty and the friendly staff. However, potential campers should be aware of limited amenities, such as the absence of running water and sinks in the bathrooms.

NOT FOR SMALL GROUPS!
If you want to camp in a regular tent spot, go in person because it's $20 CASH (there's a self pay station with envelopes) and in a different area.
This reservation type is for large groups such as Scouts or a large amount of friends/family (17 vehicle spots are for those in your reservation). It was very nice, but I do wish it was a bit cleaner (e.g. the trashcans were not empty) and some trashcans were locked.
The bathrooms do not have sinks and the place doesn't have running water (as a heads up, it's already stated on their website).

Very clean, well designed, close to a stream and great views! Some road noise is the only drawback.

This is a great campground. The facilities are excellent (we were in the group campground), and enjoyed the plethora of trails both from the campground and just a short drive away. A special shout out to Wally, the campground host, who could not have been friendlier or more helpful.
