Driest firewood we've ever had, which was great! Store should consider selling Kleenex - I'm sure I'm not the first to have a bit of allergies when I got there. Love this campground, especially loop 5. Wish the young girls camping would turn off the lights in the bath house, like the sign says, but that was a reflection of the youth of the campers, not the campground or the hosts. The "no dogs in the bath house" sign disappeared while we were there, just in case that wasn't intentional. After Helene, a great job getting the whole place ready to reopen for this year. I'm sure that was a job. Thanks to all the hosts!

Great campsite! We stayed in Loop 5 and it was very private. A lot of tree cover for privacy, and a little rain protection. Quick walk down to the creek too. We will definitely come back here!
