Nothing to do - no walking trails. Geared more for tent camping.

The campgrounds, bathrooms, and showers were always clean and taken care of. When we arrived at our campsite, the fire pit hadn't been cleaned out yet, and was full of ashes. We spoke with a ranger who was driving through the campground, and within a few minutes, he came by with a shovel and cleaned out the fire pit. Everyone was friendly and professional.

I love this little campground. It’s just the right size. Only thing the kept me from all the stars was out site was just a tad small. Smaller than the others. But not a horrible complaint as this has always been one of my more favorite campgrounds due to its relative small footprint and quiet ness.

Clean campground. Quiet little campground. Not all sites are paved, but the site we were in was paved and it was very level. Only downfall was the lantern post was missing and the person in the check in booth didn’t seem to care.

Nice campground. Beautiful area and you can't beat the price. Only issue we had is we scanned the code on the post at two sites and we were told they were not available. But when I searched at rec.gov they were so it all worked out.
