Well maintained campsite. The host makes several rounds during daylight to welcome guests and answer questions. The vault restrooms are reasonably maintained. When we were camping there was extensive road work going on to widen the road that lasted until dark and started very early in the morning. In addition, there are plenty of landowners that surround the campground with dogs that tend to bark often. Overall it didn't feel like we were really out in nature as much as we would like to be at a campground.

site #7 has a nice flat ground. Dogs barking at night is the only negative. The trail is hard but I like that dogs are allowed.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
Fires & fuel
- Check fire restrictions before visiting, as wood and charcoal fires may be prohibited.
- Buy firewood locally and burn it on-site to protect California's forests.
