Would have been 5 stars, but there was no running water, necessitating trips to town and a state park to obtain/buy water. This is inexcusable. Hopefully you have repaired this problem. This is not a remote backpacking only site, so people come expecting running water. Otherwise, a very nice place.

Beautiful location with clean campsites. The ranger who manages the campground is friendly and helpful. My only complaint about this campground has been the lack of running, potable water.
