Beautiful place to camp. Plenty of hiking trails, not too difficult, with breathtaking scenery. Quiet and clean camp spots with plenty of room.

Such a great campground. Clean, cool air and close to hiking. Super clean camp site and quiet. Wood for sale on site that was delivered by the campground host. My favorite touch? A little scented candle in the outhouse!
