We had a very quiet weekend. The spot was level and dry even with all the rain. The spot was clean and the fire pit empty. The hosts stopped by and we found them friendly and informative. We love the nearby GAP trail and will come again.

Great trip! The grounds only had a few campers so everyone was very spaced out. Not sure I’d want to be here when grounds were full - lots are only 2-3 feet apart. Good facilities that were cleaned and the rangers visited every site to chat.
