This was a very clean campground with more activities than expected. They have firewood and ice for sale at the entrance as well as life jackets that can be borrowed. We especially enjoyed the short hike to the waterfalls. The creek there is a great place to play. The rangers were visible around the campground and always stopped to say hello to our children and give them a coloring book. We tent camped with friends in sites 9 and 10 which were large and across the street from the bathhouse. It was really perfect for tent camping. Just a reminder that the sites are designed for campers so it is a gravel pad, bring extra thick sleep mats! Overall, 5 stars!

Most of my stay was very good. I take my dog with me . He likes hiking. The trials we tried need some work. A little mowing.
