This campground is always beautiful! This is my second time staying here, first time during off season. We were the only people on the entire campground for our whole stay! I’m assuming because of the storms and snow. That being said, there is no host and the bathrooms are locked during off season. The trailhead did have vault toilets however. I highly recommend this campground!

Great place to pop up our tent. Elevated, clean spots to place tent. We were in the back of grounds by water. Nice and quite. Very short and easy hikes to both upper and lower falls. Vault toilets in the back area. Showers were closed for the winter. I wish that would have been stated on the site.

Such a lovely area. Great waterfalls, nice sites and well maintained facilities. Did not enjoy having to register online ahead of time, especially since service at the site is very spotty.

Most campsites are parallel to and close to route 19. Trucks travel the road throughout the night and are very noisy. It was like trying to sleep under a bridge. I could not get any sleep. I left after the first night, losing money having paid in advance for two nights. I will not be returning.
