Great well maintained and quiet campground! Enjoyed a nice weekend without any issues of nearby camper noise, traffic, etc. Restrooms are throughout the grounds which are convenient. There a couple of trailheads as well to enjoy but take water and be prepared for a workout. Definitely recommend this campground and we look forward to returning!

This campsite was beautiful! We only used one of the hiking trails immediately next to the grounds and drove on another day to go to Graybeard Trail. There was running water, bathrooms, and the sites were very neatly kept with a fire pit/grate over it. The sites in the 20s (20-24 I think) have little to no privacy but that wasn’t an issue at night/ it was nice to talk to the other campers! I would definitely go back. No phone coverage no problem.
