Sites 7 and 8 are two of the few that don't have a barrier between them, fortunately we were lucky enough to have quiet neighbors the first night. The second night a large group of folks were very loud into the night which kept waking us up.

Wonderful campsite, plenty of shade, the cleanest vault toilets I've ever experienced. Absolutely zero cell reception, which is ideal to escape regular life. Definitely worth coming back to!

Didn’t realize the site I reserved had zero division between it and the adjacent site, natural or otherwise. Plenty of space, however. No sinks, but the toilets and bathrooms were very clean. Would recommend!

First night the campground was loud. There was a group that was partying pretty hard until after midnight. The camp hostess was afraid to confront them. Luckily they were gone by night 2 and we had a quiet night. Lots of access to great hikes from this campground.

Site was well screened from neighboring campsites. Vault toilets were new and well maintained. Overall well maintained facility. Host was present and helpful. Campground is good base camp location for accessing nearby trails. Two minor drawbacks: 1) The logging operation about 1/2 mile away started operating at 5am both mornings. While this is temporary, it sure woke me up. 2) While I love the shaded environment, it made for difficult use of my camper's solar panel.

Very quiet and tranquil place. No cell phone reception, perfect to unwind. I have never seen restrooms that clean on the campground. Great host! We will be back.
