The campground is nice with many different hiking trails. We stayed on loop 5 which I loved. It was up the side of the mountain and felt very much like forest camping. The only issues I ran into were on the weekend it was noisy at night (neighbors up playing guitar and singing until midnight), lots of dogs barking, showers on Loop 5 weren't the best but still had great water pressure. I would definitely stay again, but only during the week.

Beautiful campground but there were 10+ dogs continuously barking while we were there and the camp hosts didn't do anything about it. I really wish hosts were more involved with making sure campgrounds stay peaceful for everyone and kicking out noisy campers.
