The area is beautiful. We saw a moose, some antelope, trout in beaver ponds, and Canada Jay birds. We stayed at site 15. It was enough space for 3 small tents. One potential problem is there is run off trails through the campsite for previous heavy rain. We were fine because we set our tents up strategically. We did get rain but managed to avoid serious water problems. Clean, non smelly vault toilets were close by. Dumpsters at the entrance. I'll go back but will chose a different campsite.

Beautiful location and very well maintained campground. The bathrooms were always clean. This specific site had a lovely creek running by and felt private/secluded. It is a walk up site, which was not a problem for our group, but was helpful to know going into our trip.

This is my favorite campground. End of season is always nice because it's so quiet. I wish the wood bundles were cheaper.
