I camped in one of the lower loops close to the creek and it was peaceful and beautiful. The sound of the rushing water from the creek was relaxing. The privacy was good. I drove (without my popup tent trailer) to the upper loop and it looked more difficult to maneuver... glad I was staying in lower one. The restroom (vault toilet) was kept clean. Love this campground and hope it doesn't get too popular.

Nice campground and good hiking nearby. The usual stinky pit toilets! But our reservation had not been marked and our site was taken by someone else. Luckily there was another open site but it was a kerfuffle when we arrived and also because the host was nowhere to be found to help us sort it out.

In the case of motorcycles, the first two are considered to be one vehicle and the third and fourth are also considered to be one vehicle. No additional vehicle fees are collected for bicycles. |
