We stayed in campsite #9 in October 2022 and it was peaceful and spacious. The bathrooms are clean and close by. Camp host was very nice and we had a relaxing camping experience. Highly recommend!

The area was clean, the camp spaces were large, bathrooms were excellent. this was just a one night stop over but was perfect. quiet and the starts were incredible. the only downside were the flies or knats but that is to be expected.

We went in August and the campground was hot and dusty. We attempted a hike through the tunnel across from our campground, but there were not any established trails to follow.

I read comments about the flies and I thought, how bad could it be? It’s really really bad. If you leave your mouth open you breathe them in. We packed up in a rush and got out of there first thing in the morning before breakfast or coffee. It was that unbearable. At night it was nicer but there’s really no barriers between you and the other campers so you could see and hear people clearly around their camp fires. The bathrooms were clean but no sinks or showers. The camp host was nice enough. It would be fine but the flies were unimaginably bad and made it impossible to have fun or even concentrate.

nice site - quick warning, the edge of the site near the tree line has lots of poison oak! Simply keep clear of it and you will be fine, as it does not go into the site itself.
The site is quiet, flat and relatively spacious. The camp ground is small with only 15 spaces. Bathrooms were clean, water was working.
