Nice small campground with great hiking. Has not been crowded the two times we have been there but if it was the sites are too close together.

Definitivamente un lugar hermoso, lleno de visitantes (venados) y el mejor spot para ver las estrellas en todo su esplendor, el único detalle fue que el aire era tan fuerte que no nos dejaba dormir totalmente, por la mañana fue imposible cocinar, asi que optaria por revisar en esa area como estara el aire por la noche, pero en verdad el lugar es muy hermoso y definitivamente volveriamos

A had two campers pitch there tent on two different nights at 11pm right next to my site. I thought after 8 was quiet time. The first couple thought it was party time and had NO regard to quite time and were talking and laughing. Don't think I'll go back.

Nice campground. Heated restrooms. WiFi at visitor center. Love all the mule deer in camp. Tight quarters for RVers but it was still great.

The campsites were very well maintained. They are pretty remote, which we liked, but that means there are few amenities and it is a long drive to get supplies if needed.
