Located in gorgeous natural area and on the engineering feat of Cherohala Skyway. Very popular campground with most sites full and children racing around on e-bikes and scooters, walkers beware. Sites close together. Shower house old with no temperature control and timers. No cell service in camp. Trail around lake is nice, but others in area are not maintained.
