Such a great campground. I loved the easy access to Carson. Check out Panther Creek Falls if you're looking for an awesome hike in the area. Also highly recommend Backwoods Brewery if you're into that scene!

The campground is very well maintained. The bathrooms were very clean and didn't smell bad at all, fully stocked with TP. The one water well pump was broken but the other one had the best tasting water I've had in a long time. Would defenitely stay here again.

This campground was clean, peaceful, and private. Each site had a good amount of space between, so even though the campground was full it felt like we had ample privacy in our space.
