We love it here. Nice and peaceful and the weather is very cool. Great place for getting out of the heat.
Love seeing the deer so close and right in your campsite.
Great place and we will continue to stay here in the future.

This is a great tent site! We had four deer visit our site when we arrived. We had plenty of privacy from both adjacent sites. Hosts drove through in the morning and were very friendly. Bathrooms were spotless! Be careful of cattle in the road driving up the mountain.

This campground is high in elevation and can get very cold. Be prepared. Bring your own water.
