Great camp host and lovely campground. Just wish there were a couple more bathroom stalls.

We had a fantastic time here at site #20. It is near the road leading up to the Highlands but after sunset there are not many cars coming or going. The campground facilities were very clean and pretty nice. We did not get to go hiking on the trails at the campground but we will definitely do it the next time we come!
