A beautiful campground, surrounded by tall pines and fresh air. The whole facility was immaculate, no trash seen on any of our hikes and we look to help out by picking up trash! The assistant at the front gate was extremely friendly and helpful as we wanted to buy some wood and she directed us to a lovely local store. Highlights include, viewing the white pelicans and identifying 33 varieties of birds with the help of the Merlin ap. We never saw the sun and it drizzled or flat out poured the whole time but we still thoroughly enjoyed the escape from city life and the serenity that the wilderness offers.
