This is one of the most charming campgrounds I've ever been too. Absolutely loved the Ponderosa Pines surrounding the sites and the peaceful, quiet atmosphere. Plenty of space in each campsite. Lots of shade. Just beautiful!

Spot was pretty easy to find, even after sunset. It was quiet and we didn’t even realize how many others were camped around us until the morning! Bathroom was clean for it being a permanent port-a-potty
