I really like this campground. It's very well maintained, has flushing toilets and water access. The trails around I haven't ridden on, but I know there are a bunch.

Camping was good this time. Did not have the forestry head over the campground harassing us like he does every time. That was great!! We had a person camped next to us with mental health issues and the sheriff had to be called. The camp host was very helpful with that. The last couple of times we have been there, there are homeless people there.
