The campsite was well maintained. Other campers were courteous and quiet. Park ranger was very nice. Great place to camp with family. We went with a 9 month old and it was perfect!

Lots of nature to take in! Fishing, hiking, rock climbing. Town is not to far away if you need something and everyone that works there from the gate to the camp host Is super friendly.
