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!

Enjoyed our stay. Location of site was very good.
The Wildcat hiking trail was quite strenuous as it was 1.5 to two miles up the mountain for the first part.
Had very limited cell service, if any at all.

We just found this gem looking for a place to stay while we were traveling to get home. One of the cleanest campgrounds. Beautiful views. No 5g , but who cares. Good water. Nice showers. Host and Rangers very nice. We will be back.

We loved this campground. The camp host, Melissa was the best! She worked really hard to keep all the sites neat and tidy and bathrooms and showers very clean! I've stayed in national park and national forest campgrounds all over the country, and the bathrooms were the cleanest I've ever seen. And they have running water and hot showers! Beautiful, quiet, tree-lined sites, mostly level. Very nice campground. We decided the hike the Wildcat Mountain Trail, and be warned if you do: it's strenuous! Do not attempt unless you are in good physical and cardiovascular condition! There is no cell signal in the campground and no hookups, but that made it easier to just disconnect and relax and enjoy the peace and quiet and darkness while sitting by the campfire as the sun went down. We almost certainly will come back again!
