Love this campground! The drive is worth it! It’s amazing! I would suggest to book the campsites that’s close to the river, you will love it! There is a waterfall (roaring river falls) within 10mins away from the campground. Bathroom, waters, and trash are provided. There is zero cell service here, so be prepared. The surrounding view is so nice that I will definitely come back!

The campground itself is very beautiful . Our experience however, was poor due mainly to the other campers need to have constant smoky fires going. It really ruined the experience for us. We would like to see some rules limiting the fires to a couple of hours in the evening only and have the rules enforced.
A no smoking fires campground would be welcome.
We had to move our camp because we could not get a reservation for two days in a row. But after we moved nobody showed up to take the campsite we vacated. Also there were several unoccupied sites around us. Something needs to be done to allow campers needing a site to be allowed to use sites that are not occupied.

Beautiful setting with decent size sites and most have lots of trees and shade. Everything was clean and well kept for the start of the 2021 season. The roads are tight for larger RV so watch the corners.

No cellular or Internet service that I could find so make all your arrangements and download your information before arrival.
