The campground is beautiful and very low key. Some of the sites are pretty close to the main road up the mountain so if you can you want to avoid those. The creek is really nice and pretty. And the hosts are wonderful, warm and helpful. We already booked another stay for next month.

Even though we were there during an extreme heat wave, the creek was a very lovely place to hang and explore with the kids and keep us slightly cooler. I’ve camped here before many times and it is such a lovely campground.

Nice campground, lot of different campsites. Some are deeper in the nature, some others are closer to the road.
Overall good experience.

Had a totally enjoyable time here. The site had a somewhat secluded feeling, with a path leading to the creek. Close to restrooms and trash. Went during the week to avoid the weekend influx, so it was very quiet and relaxing.

This site was a great location. Short stroll to a really pretty semi-private spot near the creek. Can sit and enjoy the trickles of the creek. To access your have to walk through our site. Bathrooms nearby. The large rock helped to give us some privacy. Only thing that was a bit of a bummer was the graffiti from other campers on the rocks. There should be a fine implemented for desecrating the campgrounds.

Love love love this place. We go here every year. The bathrooms are kept clean and the campsites have fire pits and bbqs. I love the running water and the kids love climbing around on the rocks. A great spot.
