Absolutely loved this campground. Officially making it one of my repeat visits. The area was clean, the restrooms incredibly clean and well stocked. It was a little difficult to find do to the fact someone had closed the road gate heading down, but we were able to figure it out. My only gripes about the weekend is our camping neighbors unfortunately really enjoyed their loud music and very loud movies until midnight both nights we stayed up there. Also, the fire pit was nearly full of ashes which we had to clear some out to ensure a safe fire. Other than that, the site is perfect for large groups. Our group was 10 total and we could have comfortably had 5 to 10 more guests.

Great and big campground!! (We were in C which I recommend!) We had a group of about twenty people - the parking situation was fine we could fit some at the campsite and some in a dirt pull out at the top of the site. Lots of tables ! Fire restrictions in place so the firepit and grills were taped up. Plenty of trash bins to fit trash from our three day trip. Bathrooms were clean (as good as you can ask for when camping!) - overall we had a great time and can't wait to go back!

This campground ground was perfect for our groups needs. We fit seven cars easily in the available space. There is plenty of space for many tents as well. It also has two vault toilets which were clean. Nearby there is also a family friendly trail to spend some time and to take some pictures and enjoy the view.

The campground was clean and had plenty of tables and room for our group. We got there late due to unforeseen circumstances so we were not able to fully enjoy the area but will definitely be back!

Great camp site for our group, realistically 4 cars fit unless you park further away. The signs are confusing to get to site B. The map you see doesn’t really match when you get there. Bathrooms were well kept and water has a standard hose attachment. Would recommend!
