The isn't really a restroom. It's more an outhouse with a toilet with just a hole. The camping sites are small and no flat. The grill was nasty so we didn't use it. The water is a spigot a couple of feet from the toilet. Also there's lots of spiders, flies and mosquitoes.

We enjoyed the close trails for hiking and that we could bring our dog. We would come back again.

We loved this small and hidden beauty of a site! We highly recommend it for its location and access to the trail system and the surrounding area. We only stayed one night, but we were able to wine-taste, fish at Vail Lake, and hike the trails above the campsite, and it was awesome. Our site was private, close to restrooms, and a solid base camp. In my opinion, the site should be considered for an overhaul of its tables, benches, and BBQs, and hopefully that is an investment the state will make soon, as it is overdue.

Campsite was full of ant hills, rodent holes and sloped. Pretty hard to sleep in a tent that’s sloped. Campsite was full of tall weeds and grass. Nice location though.

We love this campground in general but will avoid this site with future visits. It’s pretty exposed with very little shade. Fire pit is missing the grill gate which we needed for the food we prepped. The bathrooms on the upper part of the campground are also much more filthy compared to the lower facilities (all pit toilets).
