Its very close to the creek. It is steep to the creek in a lot of areas but still accessible. Very beautiful area.

This camp was a perfect place to get away and hang out with family and friends and be completely surrounded by nature. There is a large, fast-moving creek close by and it's audible from the cabins, but it's not disturbing. Camp is very accessible and not a great distance from civilization should any need arise.
The two cabins are bare bones, but spacious enough and dry. A fire pit/grill, picnic table, and long bench are provided. There is no electricity, so plan accordingly.
Word to the wise. The mosquitoes were plentiful and hungry. Do not forget repellant or you'll be miserable. We got lucky. A light rain started and mostly sent them away for the rest of the evening.
Bring firewood! There is not much there but small branches and kindling.
Overall excellent experience and hope to stay there or another place soon.
RESERVE EARLY!! These places fill up. I got lucky that this location was where we wanted and even available at all.
