We really enjoyed this site—great trails and beautiful surroundings. The only downside was that the previous visitors left behind their trash, which was unfortunate. Shame on them. Still, we’d definitely stay here again.

Overall, the campground is great. Very pretty. We came in July and it was not busy at all.
Some spots can be super windy.
Our gripe was that three people came into the campground around 11pm to the large parking lot (event staging area) and started yelling and shooting a weapon. When we contacted police they basically told us the area was “open to shooting.” It made for a horrible night’s sleep.

The campsite was nice and quiet with a concrete picnic table and firepit. No shade. We didn't realize at first that the site we reserved was actually two sites, one on each side, but it turned out fine. The campsite is very convenient to the mountain bike trails. The major downside right now is the road construction entering the site. We happened to arrive right after a big rainstorm and our camper and truck were covered with very intractable mud that was extremely difficult to remove. Once the road construction is completed, it should be great. We didn't use the restrooms because we have our own, so I can't speak to that.

the facilities were clean, stocked and available. Lock on the door to the bathroom was broken. I like and appreciate that you have signs addressing and asking people to NOT cut up and burn the trees/vegetation but think you need more of those signs and possibly have the camp host driving around talking to people about this topic and low-impact camping. we will be back next year but coming earlier...it was HOT!!!

Clean restrooms, nothing fancy, but great deal on a leveled rv spot for the money. Bring a canopy to cover the picnic table.
