My husband and our 2 boys (3 and 12) stayed in loop 2 for the weekend and had the best time. Area is clean and safe. Restrooms clean and very accessible. Trailhead right on the loop led to a beautiful waterfall. Hiked all the way to the top with the boys. A little strenuous for the 3 year old but 12 year old wore crocks and they both made it safely so highly recommend. They got to to part of the hike through the creek. 2 days was plenty at the site but we want to go back and explore the surrounding areas. The site was backed up against a road that did have some loud cars but it was quiet at night. Make sure to bring cash. We had to drive a pretty far distance to get firewood since we didnt have any cash on us. Otherwise, the park attendants would have been able to give us some.

If you have a big family you can’t camp here because you’re only allowed to have 5 people per campsite.

It's a nice park with nice campsites, but about half of the fire pits have never been buried. They stand up to almost waist level so you can't really enjoy a camp fire.

the campground is not maintained very well. I was at site 46, which needed to be leveled and regraded with better drainage.. it rained a little and my tent was in a couple of inches of water. the fire pit was flooded with just a few minutes of light rain. it was a waste of money for sure. the hosts were very nice, but the grounds were under par for sure.
