Site 32 had enough space for two vehicles, maybe 3 if we really squeezed in. Site was in the forest, but we had peeks of the mountains nearby, cozy and woodsy vibes. No close neighbors to the left or right of the site, so we had plenty of space and quiet, & overall the campsite was peaceful even on a friday-sunday trip.

Trumbull lake was a short walk from the site, good fishing, but muddy bottom so not so as good for swimming, Big Virginia lake nearby had a rocky bottom which was more fun for us swimming/wading. Recommend hiking up through the virginia lakes trail to upper frog lake! Scenic! Trip was July 10 and the trail was full of flowers

This is a really nice campground in a beautiful spot, all the sites are very spacious and the whole campground was very quiet for our stay.

The camp host was great. The only problem was leveling the trailer. The site had a lot of cross slope. By the time I leveled the trailer the bottom 3rd step of the trailer was about 2 1/2 ft off the ground.

Nice campground in an amazing location. Did have loud campers move in the site next to ours at 3:30A but more bad luck than common.

The site itself was nice. Many are very cramped. Location is, of course, awesome. The camp host, Travis, could have been more attentive to the restrooms ( toilet paper, spider webs, etc) Overall a good, but not very good experience.
