Beautiful well maintained campsite! Just an fyi- there is a steep slope you have to climb to get to the actual campsite and picnic table.

Incredible campground with great views and nice quiet early in the season. No water, so plan for that. The hike from the campground is lovely and quick. We booked it because the park campgrounds weren’t open yet and I highly recommend it for the solitude and great experience.

Great camp site. Clean and well kept. Views are amazing and access is very easy. Hike to the falls is a must do especially in the winter when it is frozen over.
