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.

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.

Camp hosts were awesome! Nice campground, hiking trail was nice. Checkin/checkout times on website are incorrect, checkout time is actually noon.

Beautiful, wooded area to camp in. Not many people there, so it was private. The only downside is the generator that is running most of the day.

There is a horrible rat problem at this campground. They look like squirrels but definitely rats. They made nests in the two cars we brought. It is a very beautiful area but the campground has not been maintained or cleaned. Very overgrown and trash left in the sites.
