The campground was closed without us being notified by phone, email, or even physical postage.

We did not find out about the closure until roads leading to our campground were closed halfway through our trip. We had to relocate and end our stay at the park early.

I had to manually request a refund through a very convoluted process while still on my vacation. Nearly week after my request and I still have not gotten a dime back.

The campground sits in a beautiful forest. It has very heavy cover so solar panels may have a harder time finding the sun, but we had enough to charge our panels. There is a fun little hike off the campground that we would recommend. The river running through the campground is a great place to put your feet in on a hot day. There was no cell service in the campground, but I think that is a good thing! A good place to unplug.

Campsite 002 is nice. Access to the river is nice. Also close to the bathroom and potable water. Plenty of room for us.

This campsite was a great find. The sound of the nearby stream was quite noticeable at night, so it might not be ideal if you’re looking for complete silence—but I personally didn’t mind it. Overall, it was a really enjoyable camping experience.
