Tight spaces and trees need trimming for 5th wheel height clearance. Quiet campground. GREAT campground host. Be aware - garter and rattlesnakes are in the area above and around the campground.

Nice, open campground, but with limited facilities. Outhouses' are quite far apart, there are no tent pads, and parking is limited at each site. The campground was quiet and uncrowded.

Beautiful campsite, beautiful area. Great views of Chimney Rock if you hike up the hill. Be sure to check out Chimney Rock National Monument. There are 800-year-old structures and archeologists to tell some of the history of the area.
