Second time to camp here. Came last fall for the first time. It is a nice campground with clean vault toilets. Only thing we miss is there is not a campground host at this time. We will be back.

The camp host was very attentive and friendly. Bathrooms were clean and obviously well attended to.
There was a lack of information on hiking trails accessible from the campground. Had to do exploration and walking on roads before we found trails that were not used by vehicular travel.
Firepits have poor ventilation - need more holes in the sides to allow air flow.
Beautiful sunrises and sunsets!

Outstanding camp hosts. They provide the info you need, but aren't constantly disturbing you. The cleanest bathrooms of any national forest campground I've ever visited in any state.
