Super clean campground and toilets. Minimal traffic from Hwy 49 after dark.
Site # 15 Bear Locker does not have a door - Nat. Forest Service notified as of 5/23.
Bring bug spray and sunscreen.
Nice hiking for beginners and experienced hikers areas close by, but bring plenty of water for those hotter days.

No potable water and no campfires allowed and the campsites 9 and 10 where the trail is to the water smells like a nasty dead animal.
