It’s a beautiful campsite, but it’s very poorly maintained. We were in one of the group sites, and the smell from the pit toilets which are placed in the middle of the group sites was quite overwhelming. Not only that but someone forgot to unlock the toilets. Further, there was a fire ban throughout the site, which made no sense because there had been recent rains. Camping in December, after there had been rain, it’s really nice to have a fire and very cold without one.

It was disappointing that the website and reservation did not elaborate there were no campfires allowed. We checked the USFS website regarding burn days and our stay was not listed as a no-burn day. Upon arrival, the camp host informed us that we were not allowed to burn wood, but were allowed to cook on a propane stove. No problem. If only the second night of our stay, the camp host was enjoying a fire next to their RV while we ate dinner in the cold. I don’t mind being cold, but I do mind the hypocrisy of the camp host.
