Beautiful campsite right on rock Creek. Campground clean and quiet and we even had a bear wander through our campsite to make things interesting. Camp hosts were friendly and very professional. All around great experience.

The area is fantastic, but your facilities leave a bit to be desired. The tables are half rotted. One table at one location is so close to the ground it is unusable. One fire ring is completely rusted through. One site does not even have a bear box (very unsafe!) You charge a hefty fee for use and do not put any resources back into the infrastructure.

The camp hosts (Bob and Cathy) were great. Bathrooms were cleaned daily. They kept us informed about wildlife in the area. They were very present during the day going through the campground visiting with campers and getting people checked in. Great job!

The location was beautiful, however...the noise from generators was incredible. No enforcement on the times they ran, or limits on the number of vehicles parked at each site. It was crazy busy with people driving in and out and partying. Absolutely did not see a host the entire week we were there. Good access to hiking.

Beautiful campsites. We were right next to the most beautiful creek. Clean sites and restrooms. Campsite manager, Janey, was awesome. Gave excellent safety instructions and some pretty fascinating stories. We love camping there
