The sound of the creek running over rocks was so soothing. The large trees provided wonderful shade. The campground was relatively quiet. Bathrooms were cleaned regularly. It was very relaxing!

Great staff. Clean restrooms.Great value but go with the knowledge that there are no showers. no electric, no water hookups. There is a dump station, potable water and the sound of the creek to sleep. Happy trails!

I think there should be a deadline for campers coming in and setting up late. it's not fair for people who are asleep usually by 10 pm , then here come folks close to you driving up, setting up, slamming cars doors, talking loud, sometime cooking, etc. this is very aggervating! Impossible to sleep. NO one should be allowed to come in and set up after 8 pm.

Campground is very clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Campgrounds are very beautiful with the river running on the edge of the grounds. Wish they had electrical hookups as their generator regulations are very restrictive, the Federal government seems to only allow them to run at night if needed for a CPAP - I need it for other health conditions caused by my service in the U.S. Army. Even if you can run a generator it has to be under 68 decibels, which forces you to buy the most expensive generators on the market. Expect to unplug when you camp here as cell phone, tv, radio and satellite signals are non-existent, which is great!

Site F15 needs to have some gravel placed in the low spots, it holds water when it rains.
