This is a small quiet campground that’s far enough away from the main trailhead. There’s potable water in the campsite and two bathrooms. Sure #6 is probably the best one here.

Only issue we encountered were people stealing campsites… on the first night at 4am Toyota Tacoma circled the campsite with their lights on a few times, and then finally settled on the site next to ours. They were really making a ruckus while we were trying to sleep.
On the second night, another truck claimed the campsite across from ours at about 5pm (incredibly early to be stealing unoccupied sites). The group that had actually booked that site rolled in around 7pm and thankfully everyone was civil about it.

I reserved and paid for a site thru rec.gov, they gave me site #9, and after driving 45 miles to get there, I found out there are only 8 sites there. No #9! No refund. No help. Drove 20+ miles and boondocked in the woods. Be cautious when using rec.gov.
