Yes loop 5 offers the best condition for tent camping. Lot of trees and shades for privacy, rough gravel roads that big RVs couldn't get in but no problem for any small vehicles unless lowered.
Shower room and toilet are clean but they are not separate so someone could come in and stink up the whole place while you are showering.
Camp host is very nice and they have good price on firewood. I would return again.

This is one of the most beautiful campgrounds we have stayed in! The spaces are HUGE and there's plenty of parking space. The restrooms were very clean and roomy. Showers and toilets were all in individual rooms, so you didn't have to worry about who was coming into the room you were in. There were so many trails and things to do in the area, we could have stayed two weeks and never run out of things to do! Great campground!
