Peaceful, beautiful Overlook has been a family tradition for picnic reunions since mid century.
With the water, power, and restrooms restored, it's even better than before.
Friendly and helpful park rangers always come through for us.
An excellent group gathering spot that's off the public radar.

The only thing I didn't care for was the fact that strangers just walked up the trail into our camp. I think more signs need to be posted stating that you are not allowed entrance without reservation.

We love it here! Nancy was our camp host this time and she was so helpful and kind, thank you, Nancy! We were grateful for her recommendations on camp sites and she was great to chat with when she came to check on us in the mornings.
