It's a very nice place to have a get-together or picnic. There's alot of pavilions and picnic benches. Plenty of running room for the little ones to play.

Absolutely beautiful, stunning location. Crystal clear water, ice cold, places to swim and splash around. Beautiful campground. A great place! — Please note: that the trail hikes are a little overgrown. So not the best for trail hiking.

Stayed in a tent spot for a weekend of fishing and hanging out. The campground is pretty well kept with bathrooms and water at each end of the loop. It’s a bit later in the year and it was quiet with about half the campsites occupied. Fishing was rough Saturday but after a good rain that night it was good on Sunday.

We spent a night here and wish we could have spent longer. We had a nice, large pull through spot that had 50 Amp service. The camper fit nicely on the mostly level asphalt pad. Lot 4 was directly across from the pit toilets and water source. Pit toilets were nice and clean. I have paid way more to have way less.

Great experience, the cedar bluff trail has a great view and it’s a nice trek up but the way down is very poorly maintained. There are multiple paths, all of which dissolve into nothing. I would recommend hiking this trail with the exception that you double back the way you came on the descent. The creek was great and the bathrooms were well maintained.
