Given other reviews, I thought this would be a more remote area. There is no service and it is at the top of a mountain but it seems to be a popular campground. The sites were closer together than expected and the guests were pretty loud so we didn't get the quiet weekend we had expected but still had a really great time! We chose the walk-in sites to be off the road a bit. The hiking nearby was great! Given the distance from where we live, I don't see us returning but if we did, I'd probably just stay at a hike in spot on the trails as every trail had ample camping spots and water.

We had a great time. The campsite was accessible and a quick walk to the bathroom. The camp host was hospitable and helped us carry wood back to our campsite.
We had amazing weather during our stay and even tried some dark sky photography the second night.

The campground was great. It was also empty during our late-June visit. We were able to change our reserved tent campsite on arrival, which was great. The location and availability of water was wonderful. We will return.

Mostly quiet and peaceful campground. Cooler summer temperatures at this higher elevation.
