Only downside to campsite 49 is that it didn't have too much shade during the day time.
Camp site 50 was about 50 yards down a hill, which makes it secluded but a b**** to take your gear down and back up. Also a lot of meat bees constantly in your business.

The campsite was nice. The host and crew were very friendly. Bathrooms were well maintained. We stayed for 3 nights. My son caught his first fish in the Honeymoon pool. Also close to many off-road trails. Took the family to the top of Bald mountain. We would strongly recommend a stay here. We will be back for sure.

Great campsite, very scenic. Loved having the general store for extra ice and treats for my kid. Lots to explore along the creek and nearby. McKinley Grove, Shaver Lake, Deer Creek Bridge.

The site was clean and ready for or arriving. The park is quiet at night having a 10 pm curfew, my wife and dog enjoyed the time we had together and looking forward to coming back.

Campsite 61 was nice and private for the most part, bathroom lights were very bright and lit up the whole campsite at night. Check-in was kind of a pain because the campground was undermanned as far as the staff.
