This is an excellent little campground. After camping there I understand why it is booked most of the time. It was very clean, loved the campsite with the large pad with 2 picknick tables and paved parking spots. The host was very helpful and friendly.

Perfect other then the one or two folks who feel the need to run their generators right up to 10pm. It be nice if we can have quiet time from 8-10 to enjoy the amazing peacefulness of the wilderness.

Very nice campground- well maintained. My site was down several steps from the parking space for my RV. That was a bit awkward. It was too hot for a campfire, but this fire ring did not have a rack top for cooking. There was a separate grill tho.
