It would sure be nice to at least have an electrical hookup. The temperature outside was over 100 degrees each day, and my A/C unit just couldn't keep up.
The staff over at "The Plunge" was excellent and helpful, when I needed an emergency supply of fuel for my generator. My extra fuel can developed a whole in it and they sold me additional fuel (not cheap but worth it). They were pleasant to work with and accommodated our needs.

We love the beauty and location of this campground. The last few miles of dirt road seemed to last forever, but it is adequately maintained. As a result of us showing up in the dark, we spent 30 minutes trying to find our site (#35) as it is not super well marked and is not where you would expect it to be (it’s just after site #3). We enjoyed the campground itself , but we’ll definitely reserve a different site next time. Number 35 is along the trail that goes across the walking bridge, so people were constantly walking through our campsite to get to the creek. Also the tent pad had next to no shade in the morning and afternoon (some shade later in the day). Loved the location, enjoyed the campground, just not a fan of site #35. (And for that matter, don’t reserve sites 36-38 unless you’re okay with zero shade and no parking right next to the campsite. The parking is probably 100 ft away.)

We’ve stayed for a few other times and as much as I want to give five stars, I can’t. This was the first year the outhouses were almost unbearable. The smell was incredible. I’m not sure if they’d been cleaned from the prior year. Otherwise we absolutely love this place!!!

Campground was clean and well maintained. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. This was the noisiest campground I ever stayed in. Saturday night was kaos as expected. Sunday was better until a fifth wheel pulled in about 3pm and cranked on a loud generated and ran it all night long.
