I love that area, the campground is exactly what we wanted at a great value. The ONLY issue we had, is that we were not given a gate combination in advance like our email suggested we would, and no one over the phone could help us. We had to find a park ranger to open the gate for us.

We arrived but weren't able to get in. I was not able to reach anyone to get access to the campground. We ended up having to go down the road to a different campground instead.

Everything was great it was a large accommodating space and secluded enough we didn’t hear or see any other campers. Had a blast with my friends for my birthday only thing that was kinda bad one of the toilets on site was absolutely horrid but the one closer to the entrance was tolerable.
