What Guests Are Saying
Group Camp B is a spacious and well-maintained site ideal for large groups, though the car parking is about 100 yards from the fire ring and tent pads, necessitating multiple trips for gear. It is conveniently located near excellent backpacking trails and primitive campsites, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. The nearby river and Signal Knob loop offer beautiful views, particularly in winter.

We Reserved both group campsite A & B for our Boy Scout weekend campout. This is a very nice campsite with a lot of room for the scouts to have space for tents and for scout activities. Bonus in the small circle between the two group campsites is a set of four bear boxes for food storage. The scouts got to witness wildlife as well that just passes through the campsites, frogs, toads, deer and a single black snake we got to watch climb a tree likely looking for food. Our troop will definitely be returning to this campground in the future.
We Received an email for each site reservation that had the combination for the lock on the gate so we had zero access issues.

Great campground location and facilities. Toilets are well maintained and stocked. Bear-proof trash cans are helpful. Water is available down the road in the family campsite. Easy access to trails on both sides of the valley. Note there is little to no cellphone reception in the campsite (at least on Verizon), which may or may not be a bonus!

No one ever came to unlock gate. There is a combo lock and was never given it. This meant you could not even park. The site itself after walking a long way to get there was very nice. Make sure you can get in.

This is a beautiful campsite in a beautiful setting. In fair weather, this would be a five-star campsite for Scout Troops and other groups of moderate size.
However, if it rains, the tent pads fill with water - in some cases 1-2" deep! There's not a tent in the world that will keep you dry if you pitch it in a 2" deep puddle, so (1) pay attention to the weather, and (2) if it rains, look for an alternate site to pitch your tent.
