My wife and I returned here and rented Cabin "A" for two nights, 11 years after first finding and exploring this place. The cabins are clean and cozy, and serve as "living" monuments to the handcrafted works of the CCC that are nearing the century mark in age! Not sure why so many years went by before we returned?
The sunsets and sunrises are spectacular, and the dark skies at night make for awesome viewing of the planets and constellations...We also viewed an adult and a juvenile Bald Eagle with our binoculars yesterday afternoon from the back patio of our cabin!
Hiking trails are abundant, and a variety of trails ranging from easy to difficult are available nearby to accommodate most anyone with a desire to go rambling.
Amber is overseeing operations of this recreation area, and she is just the sweetest lady that is focused on making your stay a great experience. Her enthusiasm for the history of the C.C.C. and the amazing work they achieved is contagious. I can't imagine a better host for this place :)

Overall, a nice facility. Sites were well spaced out and even though it was mostly full Saturday night it was very quiet. Bathrooms were in good shape. The forest service road(s) up to the campground were rough so be prepared for that.

A glorious place to spend two great days. Only problem was lack of access to cabin from parking area; a 20' drop to unload/load is not conducive to anyone with mobility issues. Other than that, it was great. Excellent camp hosts.
