This is a very no-frills woodsy camping experience. The sites had electricity, which was great. The park hosts were very nice and helpful. There are no bath houses, no water hook ups, and no sewer. Not sure about a dumping station. A Beautiful Park All the way around . Very clean.

This is a wonderful place to get away from it all and away from crowds. The camp hosts are always friendly and helpful.

Awesome campground given its location. However, the entry road sucks. It is the worst washboard gravel road in any National Forest we’ve camped. Second, the water spigots are low pressure, low volume, not threaded, and not suitable for filling RV tanks. Arrive with FULL water tanks. Also, there is no dump station. Plan ahead, be prepared!
