Loved everything about the campground! 4 days wasn't enough to visit everything in the areas! Very clean restroom and shower area as well as the campsite! The entire family was secretly hoping to see a black bear before having to head back home.

We stayed on site C10, and it was great, but it did have a little bit of a drop-off right at the edge of the drive, making it a little precarious getting off the steps. I would choose that site again, though, because it was in a good spot and pretty private. We wanted to do some hiking, but after talking with a ranger, we decided we were too old for much of that since most of the trails are quite long. Another thing: we had 3 girls with us who wanted to swim, so be aware, the pool is only open on Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
