Clean campground, really nice camp host, and clean bathrooms. Close to town incase you forgot something but far enough away to be nice and quiet. Small stream runs through the campground.

The campground manager was a lovely lovely human being. We actually got site number 9 which meant that there were no other campers in our view as we looked towards sisters.

The camp host was rude! We may been so this campground many times and never had an experience like we did this last time. She threatened to call the Sheriff's office before 10pm due to noise..., There were 4 adults whispering around a campfire while our children slept. She came over at least 4 other times shining her flashlight in everyone's eyes. We have always been respectful of the parks and those around us. I have never been treated like on a family weekend away.

The Pine trees are beautiful and give the park a very nice feel. Camp host was welcoming and helpful. Bathrooms are terrible and need replacing. Camp area was quite dry and the amount of pine needle duff in the camping areas are a fire hazard. Overall the facility needs updating.

The camp host was friendly and helpful. Even suggested I see the observatory down the road about 13 miles. The grounds were clean and the mostly woodedsites far away.
