Love this site. Clean, organized and beautiful. Nice proximity to hiking trails both easy and challenging as well as Wild Bill lake for some kid friendly fishing.

great creek side campsite. Campground was clean, quiet and beautiful. We stayed for 10 nights in late June 2019.
wonderful hiking, scenery and wildlife including a morning visit by a cow and calf moose only 50 yards from our travel trailer. We are from Ohio and will be returning in 2020 for a two week stay.
