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.

Great campground, I highly recommend it. The camp hosts do a wonderful job, facilities are kept clean, and the sites are quite large.

Loved the quiet, secluded feeling of this campground. Lots of trees, shade, and birds. This site is next to the bathhouse, which was convenient, but also very occasionally meant sewer smells wafted over in the heat. The showers were appreciated and clean, but could use upgrades. Overall, great value for the price.

Absolutely loved this campground. We stayed at site 40 and had the back corner of the campground all to ourselves. Our spot was spacious and fit why SUV, 10' by 13' tent and our 10' by 10' canopy. Plenty of room. I loved the grassy field in between our site and the walk-in tent sites. Lots of shades and sun so I was able to use my solar panels. There was a single stall restroom (one for men and one for women) close by our site and a bath house with toilets and 4 unisex showers in the center of the campground. NO SIGNAL! We had to travel about 15 minutes to the bottom of the mountain before getting any signal which was not a big deal for me. I downloaded movies and music and actually enjoyed unplugging. I would definitely stay here again. Really looking forward to our next trip!
