A very green and calm camping experience here, especially if near one of the tent sites by the stream.

Camp host was great. CCC built sites are beautiful. Sites are roomy and not too close together. Very nice experience!

This place was beautifully tucked away into the national forest. Sites were clean and staff super friendly. The bath house was okay along with the bathrooms which were worn down pretty good but they were clean and I understand funding issues. Overall a great place to stay.
