Beautiful campsite, lots of trees for privacy. The vault toilet was a bit of a hike from my campsite, but that would be my only complaint.

We are surprised to see such a beautiful park, so well maintained with hardly anyone else there. It has all the amenities you would need and overall a peaceful and relaxing place to camp and take it all in. We even got to listen to the packs of coyotes howling in the distance. A really great spot.

We loved the park, spacious with plenty of places to walk and hike. We endured 2 storms while there. The Rangers came by to warn us and provide evacuation details. We enjoyed our stay.
