Secluded campground; in general sites are very close together; upper level sites (first loop) seem to generally be quieter and spaced a bit farther apart; roads are tight for big rigs; some cell service on first loop (helped by cell phone booster) but poor to non-existent service in second loop; sites are well maintained; water and electric hookups are straightforward; nice heated restrooms and showers; some hiking but modest drive to other locations (Fairy Stone State Park); country store at main gate has firewood and other useful food and camping items; we were there early in the season and it seems pretty empty during the week at that time of year; all-in-all a nice 3 night stay for us.
