Hike into the campground was easy. The campsite was clean. Online it said the site would be full but only half of campers showed up for their reservation which was surprising since it was Veterans Day weekend.

There was only one other group at the campsite, highly recommend you go on a weekday to dodge the crowds.

Great camping area. Some tent sites need to be leveled as they are sloped.
