I loved this place. Great hiking areas, amazing natural pools and great little store with deli if you forgot something! We had an RV and had to switch our site because of the inability to get the RV level. Probably half of the sites are at too steep an angle for an RV to get level. Get as much information as you can about the site before you make the reservation.

This is a well maintained and tidy campground with so much to do! The camp hosts were amazing, keeping everything clean, campsite freshly raked and so friendly and happy to answer questions. We could have spent many more days (were only here 2) exploring the creek and surrounding hikes. The slides were great for the kids, my only complaint was due to the time of year (end of August) the water level was a bit low for fishing, so we may try to go earlier next year!

It was my favorite camping so far. So many things to do. We even stayed an extra day( total 4 days and 3 nights) because it was so much fun. Hosts of the camp were so friendly and funny. Our camp was 087 and it was perfect

We had a great time. Restrooms were spotless. Campground hosts were great. A hike on a trail running up the creek at the end of the road took us to some gorgeous pools where we swam. Honeymoon Pool also offered a very refreshing swim during a hot time of the day.
