Tent pads are always full of rocks and uncomfortable so I highly recommend some sort of sleeping pad if you’re going to camp here. The surrounding hiking trails and sights are definitely worth the trip.

We loved it. The only recommendation would be bathroom shower cleanliness. Although there seemed to be a lot of people there! The gentleman at the gatehouse was awesome!

The pictures don’t do this campsite justice. They were large sites and were not crammed in together. Tons of shade and very peaceful.
