The sites had a lot of privacy. It is an amazing park. We hiked up to Hawksbill summit, down to Dark Hollows Falls, and did the Bear Fence Trail rock scramble. Beautiful hikes. Highly recommend them!

Nice sites. Good bathrooms and utility sinks. Only issue was having to walk thru another site to get to the bathrooms; wasn't an issue this time as no one was in at least one of the sites. Very good hiking trails and access to them.

The facilities are great here. Our biggest complaint is the "first come, first serve" process of reserving a spot. There was quite a bit of confusion and back-and-forth with how to reserve your spot; check in with the ranger, place a temporary marker to find a spot, going back and sharing that with the ranger, then going back and replacing the marker, and, finally, bringing back the original marker. Due to this process, we lost the spot we had originally reserved after leaving for a hike. It is hard to believe there is not a more concise process that would reduce stress for all involved (e.g., picking and reserving your spot the first time you check in).

Site E156 the campfire grill was busted and the site was overgrown. There was broken bottle glass all over the site and in the designated fire spot. Had my 5 year old with me and we ended up leaving early as not to get cut on glass.

It was very easy to reserve online; staff was accommodating as we needed to adjust our reservations upon arrival. The facility were accessible and in good working order and clean. Neighbors were considerate and the campground was quiet enough. Plenty of trails to hike on without driving, some in the strenuous category. Of course plenty more trails if you used your vehicle. Had a small car breakdown and the host helped me greatly get back on the road. Could not ask for more! Had not camped in years and found it quite pleasurable, just as I remembered it.
