Campground is wonderfully well kept and a great place to stay. The night sky program was my absolute favorite part! Rory is so detailed and makes learning about the work that they do to preserve dark skies so fascinating. Overall a wonderful experience!

Great campground. Shower house is clean, but needs a face lift.

The showers need some attention in the form of cleaning and maybe a hook hung inside.

beautiful campground tended by caring hosts. weekends are crazy busy but weekdays are quiet with come and go traffic. trash pandas can be annoying and the skunks were very brave in the daylight. no mishaps but quite a surprise. welcome center very informative and rangers are helpful to answer questions. one ranger kept us from using a small car to recon our paddle trips. a high clearance vehicle was needed because of road conditions. spent a full week exploring and paddling.
