Pleasantly surprised by this campground. Very pretty wooded setting and great access to trails, the visitor center, etc. I'd recommend site 3--it's situated in such a way that it provides a bit more privacy than many of the other sites. A note: no running water at the campground so be sure to bring plenty! The visitor center does have a station to refill containers. Vault toilets were in pretty rough shape, even as vault toilets go.

Very nice trails throughout the park. Boardwalk trail was also very nice. Camp site was clean and well maintained.

Wonderful time! The campgrounds were neat. The walk to the visitor’s center was nice and they had real working toilets at that location, which was great! Loved the films and enjoyed the boardwalk with the self guided tour!
The mosquito level was on a 1, which enhanced our experience.

Perfect balance of feeling like you're out in the woods while having easy access to the visitor center (the short trail is a sweet way to get there). The solar charging station was super nice to have. Very cute birds around

This is a quite campground with reasonable privacy. The sites have plenty of room. Expected to walk a few hundred feet to your site. (Higher numbers are farther away from facility and parking lot.)
The campground is quite peaceful with a small pond and meadow. There is plenty of wildlife, so it is essential to keep your coolers secure. The primitive facility is reasonably clean.
The big drawback of this campground is that there is no running water. Be prepared to fill your water containers at the visitor center.

Clean and well kept camping area as well as the facilities. The park staff were all extremely friendly, the park over all is charming and makes for an enjoyable experience!

Campsite #1 was easily accessible without a cart. It was quiet, private, & clean. The pit toilets were clean & well-stocked. The solar charger was a welcome surprise, but not all of the sockets worked with our phone charger cords. We were greeted in the morning with birds singing and quail running through. Could hear coyotes in the night. Overall a very pleasant experience.
