It was wonderful! Beautiful! I gave it 4 instead of 5 starts because the bathroom overflowed and they did not fix it. But, other than that it was amazing!

Nice car camping sites with water and pit toilets in a compact configuration. Would be even better with showers, but can’t have everything! Rangers were super professional and helpful. Quite knowledgeable. Campsites are right next to a nice little trout stream, so location is lovely.

Very remote. The drive is long. Don't go. (but if you do you will be in for a special treat)
Access to lakes and streams if you are willing to hike uphill and do 10+ miles a day.

Great campsite - keep in mind the overfill campsites (39-41 at least) have smaller bear lockers than the majority of the campground and do not fit most larger coolers!
