Quiet, forested setting with widely spaced sites. The campground is run by a private company, and, they are very good at maintaining the grounds. The pit toilets are the cleanest you’ll ever see. The downside is the dirt road into the park. Sections of it take “washboard” to new levels. The Forest Service needs to increase maintenance on the road.

The campground was really spectacular, the wooded forest was beautiful, and the grounds were maintained really well (always nice to have a cleaned and maintained vault toilet). Lots of hiking is around the area, and we especially enjoyed the off-roading just continuing on the main road too!
