We stay there every year. The campground host is very helpful and friendly. I believe his name is Tim. Only wish is that the water was still turned on that time of year.

The campground has been well cared for with some of the cleanest bathrooms we have seen. Tim is a great campground host and does an amazing job of taking care of things. It was quiet and we enjoyed all of the hiking opportunities right from camp.

Such a peaceful, out of the way spot. Rustic for sure, but that makes it special.
