Campground hosts were great. Sites are flat; outer sites are shady. Restrooms are small with small sink; something to hang toiletries is helpful. No showers, but can use showers at nearby Hurricane Campground.

We really like that Campground! Great place to stop and sleep for the night also if you’re traveling on the road! Very welcoming atmosphere.

For those traveling by RV and request a site with hookup (water and electric) the sites are not level. The camp host we met the next day who was very nice and informative!
There are plenty of awesome trails for hiking. We went just as the season was ending and close to Thanksgiving so we had the place to ourselves; both camping and hiking.
We would definitely return for the miles of trail hiking. If you stay here in a RV, site 11 is the most level and doesn’t require excessive leveling equipment.

Great Host. Wish trails were clear to use. Fallen Trees need to be removed and bridges cleared.

It's a beautiful area. The campsites were clean. I'm glad there weren't many campers, as the sites are very close together. Even though it is far off the beaten path (a good distance off the highway), there is no privacy between the sites. At first, I thought the boulders peeking through the ground were natural, until I realized they line the parking spaces on both sides. I guess they are meant to keep people from running off the pavement. The sites are so short, that we had to back all the way in to get off the roadway. That left our steps coming down right atop a boulder! That made for a treacherous condition! I doubt we will ever stay here again. Would be a nice spot for a getaway if you live in the area.
