We have camped here for many years, and my faience has been coming to this campground scene he was a child. we always have a wonderful time, and it is clean and beautiful this past trip we had an issue with a squatter who appeared to be using drugs and taking camp sites that were paid for through the website. I would like to know if you have the possess of booking online why would you let someone who did not book online keep the spot they didn't pay for, I've noticed the past few times the post tags with the reserved campers name were not changed. we camped at the end of May and the tag on the post was for early April. so, this past trip we took a reservation print out to avoid any issues because there's no service up there. other than that, it is an amazing place to take the family and enjoy the disconnect.

We stayed here at site 8, just across the creek ford. Very nice and scenic campground, but a word of warning concerning rain-Site 8 WILL flood with rivers through the campsite during heavy rain so if you're in a tent, be ready . Even with the drainage issue, it still gets a five-star rating as does the rest of the campground.
