Beautiful place to camp however they need to go in and cut back trees as it is very overgrown and if a fire got away it would not be good there are alot of dead broke off branches and it just needs to be more looked after.

The campground manager was very helpful and the site was perfect for us. The lack of electronic communication was anticipated and actually very welcome. The gravel road to the site was a little sketchy but had just experienced a frog-strangler thunderstorm so we didn’t see it at its best. We would gladly return, hopefully in better weather.
