Loved being right next to the trails. The wildflowers were magnificent. The campsite was clean and partly shady. Easy access to restrooms and water.

We were really looking forward to escape into the mountains for the week and enjoy the quiet serenity. Unfortunately, during our stay it sounded like a downtown Salt Lake construction site during the day. Extensive terrain work was occurring adjacent to our campsite with heavy machinery and trucks passing constantly. There was also some dynamite blasts. When we tried to escape to Cecret Lake, we were met with weedwackers and a scuba diver. The campsite was well maintained and site 8 right next the creek is idyllic, but if you are looking forward to silence, you may need to call to see if there is any work going on at the same time. I understand the importance of these projects, but it was still a bit disappointing.
