Beautiful campground. Our tent site #15 was excellent - close to toilet, flat tent pad, well shaded, gorgeous view of the forest and surrounding hills. Joe, the campground host, is outstanding. We will be back.

CG closed due to a fire. Was reopened the day after we were told it was being evacuated, so we went elsewhere. Hence, we lost 4 days of camping there😔
