The scenery is beautiful, making it a great spot for stargazing. While the campground is quiet and restful, some visitors noted a high presence of chiggers.

Fantastic Campground. Large enough for pretty much any group size, lots of tables to sit on, fantastic grill and fire pit. Didn't have an overlook view but views to and from camp were amazing, very pretty area. Would definitely consider returning!

The area was beautifully maintained and lots of wood after the loss of surrounding trees. Great spot to see the stars.

Very nice, although there are too many picnic tables. Tent pads would be a real plus.
