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.
