Arrived later than planned so didn't get to truly enjoy the campground. The site was great, right alongside of a creek, and the only downside was the main road was just on the other side of the creek so there was traffic noise. But all things considered, it was very nice.

We have a 30 ft Class C RV and we booked through recreation.gov. The web site indicated that the site was suitable for a 30 ft RV or 30 ft trailer. While the site may have accommodated a 30 ft RV, the approach and maneuvering to park in the site was NOT suitable. Could not back in to our site, or probably any other site. On departure we had to use the turn around at the end of the road. Required dozens of forward and reverse maneuvers to make the turn. Leaving our site and departing the campground took over an hour.
