This place is so remote and beautiful. No cell service, which forces you to stay off the internet. Great trails and scenery. If you want to escape everyday life this is great place to get away from it all. I’ll try to come back here again.

We loved the site, next to the bathrooms. Plenty of space to spread out and shade.

I went to this remote (53 miles from the main highway) campground to let Labor Day blow over before I got back on the road. It didn't work. Six of the nine sites were taken. that was Ok, but one site had a couple of guys who stayed up long after everyone else and were loud like the campground itself was their living room. Glad to see them go after one night. there was also a family of six who sprawled out right next to the bathroom and had screaming kids from dawn 'til night. They left on Labor Day morning, too. Just showed me that nowhere is safe from three-day weekends. No sign of a ranger here and the Visitor's Center was closed for the whole weekend. On the bright side, once the tourists left, the wildlife moved back in immediately (wild turkeys and deer).

Incredible sites and great facilities. Epic drive in. When we went we were the only people there. Can't wait to go back and spend more time.
