Campground spaces were clean, spacious and very quiet. Hiked out of the campground on a nice loop. There are so many good trails to explore.

Stayed in site 29. It was a little tight getting my 38 ft DP in the spot but i was able to do it. after leveling the front tires were off the ground. But had room for my toad and the site is nice. Real close to the bath house. Bath houses are clean and well done. Water is hot but there is no heat. we were there when temps were in low to mid 40s so it was an issue if you used the shower. The Campground is well maintained and sites are spacious. Its a great clean quite CG. There was a host on the property. All in all i would recommended. there were some sites that were more level than the one i picked but it was workable.

The campgrounds are great, But the road with the 180 degree turns up a mountain with a 13 degree road should be in your description.
we have a 35' 5th wheel trailer and i was hoping nothing broke on the way up, because there is no way to stop and fix a problem. make sure you check the path to travel into the camps. lesson learned
