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!

Amazing, quiet, extremely clean campground. The campground host was exceedingly helpful too when we needed to add a night- can’t remember her name, but I sure enjoyed chatting with her.
