Each campsite is pleasantly secluded because of all the trees, and the creek running through was lovely to look at and to hear. Bathrooms were clean and water was available. The canyon and mountains offer a nice vista, as does the hike that goes up from the campground to some waterfalls. There were a few yellowjackets that were annoying when we first arrived, but they had disappeared by the time we were cooking dinner.

This campground is just amazing. The scenery is breathtaking no matter what spot you are in. Campspots are so private and spaced far apart from each other with vegetation between them.
It is off-grid camping, but plenty of water faucets strategically placed around all loops of the campground.
Remember: there is zero cell service.

This is a lovely campground in a stunningly beautiful setting, but it needs some loving care to maintain. Nature is reclaiming the sites rapidly in the absence of a host and dearth of forest service personnel.

Love this place. The trees are amazing! Sadly, I forgot my hummingbird food for my feeder. The hummers were zooming all around!

Site 11 backed right up to the creek which was delightful! After a long day of hiking, it was great to soak our feet in the cold creek. Bathrooms nearby were clean and did not smell at all. We had a great experience here and would come back again!
