The rangers were very accommodating and friendly. The facility was beautiful, and we were even surprised by a Friday evening bluegrass concert at the amphitheater by a local bluegrass band.

Great campground! The Marine campground host was a bit rude, but we didn’t see him too often. Copper head spotted at the dishwashing sink on the first night. The location is beautiful and seems under utilized. Tons of great hammock spots at all the group sites. We loved it!

First time at this campground, beautiful place, group camp 1&3 are the more private ones #2 if all 3 sites are rented I assume can feel crowded. Someone else in the comments mentioned a copper head snake sighting at the dishwash sink, I was on the look out to begin with and we did find a copper head on the side walk towards the restroom from site #1. Not surprised since we are in wildlife territory but people should be on higher alert since we did encounter other smaller black snakes. This has been the place with more snake sightings for us. Not sure if it's the season, location or what but safety awareness is key especially if children are present. It's not a deal breaker for us and would definitely go back. Good trails and peaceful place. I would say one of my favorites. Rangers were helpful and very nice. We had a great time and no issues what so ever. Can't wait to go again...
