Beautiful campground, well-maintained, toilets very clean, host was great. Each site was pretty spacious and nicely situated in the trees. Creek nearby is fun to explore & picturesque.

The sites are all enclosed with trees and you don't easily see or here the other sites unless you are on the road. There are some great spots on the water and plenty of area to walk in camp. I liked not having cell service too. The PCT runs right through camp so you can easily hike some if you want. I will for sure go back.

Early season stay, campground was in great shape and host is friendly, organized and knowledgeable. Since there are not very many sites in this campground it stays pretty quiet and the sites are very spread out, you're not super close to another site.
