The group site had a great fire pit with plenty of seating. The shade was fantastic during the hot weather and would definitely stay here again!

Scott was a great camp host. He maintains the campground really well. He is very nice and always says hi as he passes through. Really enjoyed having him as a comp host and look forward to seeing him next year.

We stayed at campsite 14 and it was nice. There was plenty of shade and very close proximity to a spigot for water and the restrooms. The restrooms were clean and well kept. Overall we had a good time!

Sure would have been nice for the FS to call and tellmus that the camp ground would be closed the day after our reservation. Happend to call and ask a question and was told about the closure.
