We were at the group site and it was pretty amazing. We were right in the middle of nature right by the river and had a huge campground area. We will definitely come back to this place again.

It was a pretty good camping experience. Half of our group (a couple and their 6 year old) were camping for the first time and it was a great experience for them. Would definitely do it again.

Good campsite in general, but no shade in summer making it almost impossible to stay in a tent around during the day.

Very good campsite with decent shade in summer and close access to restrooms and water. The staff were super helpful and checked in on us and helped with routes.

Beautiful campground situated next to the river. It was nice being outside the popular, crowded valley but still close enough to drive there (45 mins).

Over all peace and quiet I had a party of 6 and I felt like we were loud bc it was so quite haha
Sites are beautiful there’s a creek not to far from all campsites we spent a day at the creek and it was a nice view w all the trees. As far as bears and deers I didn’t see any although I heard a bear was not too far from camp cite 38! I definitely will be going back!! I was beyond lucky to find such an amazing campground and to top it off it’s only 30 min from tunnel view we’ll worth every penny thank you for the troop rangers Paul Beach was a nice man thank you for making this experience great!

All and All a decent experince. The spot I was assigned to ended up being a handicap spot, large parking space, flat and a great shade tree next to the spot.
