The campsite is located in a very beautiful area of the national forest and the trails around it are great. Unfortunately, even though we were told we would receive a partial refund for the lack of water access at the camp, I have yet to receive any refund at all.

Site 79 says it is pull through. HA! Not only is it back in but there is a boulder and a trash dumpster in the way of making the turn you need to make to get the rig in the spot. Change it to back in on site and move the boulder and dumpster. Spent the next 2 night sin site 76 and it was great!

This campground is amazing! Easy to get to, but not crowded. Camp host is the sweetest and takes pride in the campground. Easy access to the water and hiking trails-this is as close to perfect camping as it gets.
