The RV sites (only 4) are packed in like Sardines. There is plenty of space and after a 2 hour drive off the main road to get to this VERY VERY remote site it is shame to have so few sites, and to have them so close together (like a paved RV site)... It was very disappointing. No privacy, No trees, Poor use of space.
On the flip. It is surprising and pleasing to have running water and electric heat in the bathrooms. This was a blessing during the cold.

Arrived in cold conditions. Be prepared for a remote location with quiet conditions and the very best night sky. Good hiking to be had.

Super quiet and peaceful, great to see the big tooth maples away from the crowds! When hiking we felt like we were the only people in the whole park.

Make a reservation easier than Pine camping ground

The camp was well maintained. 5 star bathroom for a remote campsite. The park ranger was so helpful. I wish I'd got a name. She gave us great advice on a hike to take. She resolved an issue of conflicting reservations with other campers with calmness and kindness. I'll definetly be back. Several reviews I read before going said, don't make this your "go to" spot, but if your passing through it's nice. I totally disagree. Its worth the trip just "to go" here.
