We camped here in our 15' teardrop camper. This campground seems like one that is bypassed by most people. It is a nice campground, great hosts that stopped & introduced themselves. The facilities were clean, however the mens shower closest to us was out of order & was being worked on by a plunber the 3 days we were there. I think they completed the repairs the day we left.
I did the 2 mi hike to the falls. Well worth the elavation gain to go to the upper falls. If it had been a warmer day I would have sat in the water below the fall & cooled off. Maybe next time.

We had a wonderful time camping in the heart of nature. Our site was fairly level and well-maintained with a finely crushed gravel surface. There was a large firepit and a huge picnic table. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. It would have been nice if there was water at the sites, but we knew there wouldn't be any when we made our reservation and planned for it. The bathhouse was clean but full of crawling caterpillars. There was an electric hand dryer, but I really wish there was soap by the sink. There was a large group camping in multiple sites near our site. I appreciated that they were quiet even though they had quite a few kids. A very enjoyable trip.
