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.

The layout of parking spaces to campsites was not workable. After a two-hour drive from the park headquarters, I opted to not stay and went elsewhere. The lesson learned is to confirm the actual layout of the campground prior to reserving a spot.

It's a little far from the main entrance but still worth the trip. Facilities great, bathrooms clean, plenty of wildlife around. Access to good trails.

This is a beautiful, very remote campground. The scenery is lovely as you are surrounded by mountains and near a stream. Two important things to note.
#1. This campground is not accessible from the main park entrance. It is a two hour drive from the main entrance.
#2. It is very remote and there are no services nearby. Gas up before you leave the main highway.
It is worth the drive.

Nice campground. Make sure to have a full tank of gas before you head up the road to this location. No services once you leave the highway. There is internet available at the ranger station porch.
