The road to the campground is steep and twisting but it is worth it. The campground is nice with many sites along the creek and access to the lake. We enjoyed our short stay and will return.

We ended up leaving a day early. It was a pretty park but the grass had not been cut for awhile, it was incredible dark at night with no street lights which was made even worse due to the mountains and being cloudy. We were concerned with walking our dogs at night especially since there was animal scat throughout the park. Cell service was nonexistent. We couldn’t even make calls if there was an emergency. Also, there was no camp staff that we ever saw.

The ride up and back the 8.5 mile narrow road with tight turns, no shoulder was an intense drive. The campground has a few different sections. Some are electric only, one section is primitive and one have full hook ups. The sites have room between them. Some sites are close to a river that was very low when we were there so no boating from the launches. There are 2 play grounds. One is quite large. There is no WIFI or TV reception unless you have a Sat. We enjoyed many walks and enjoyed the fall season.

The only thing I did not like is having to make a reservation. Always before we could drive up and pick a spot. Why do we have to have reservations, never had had to before?

We would not recommend this CG fo any rigs larger than 25 feet. Road into is windy, and narrow. 13 miles off the interstate, busy local road above CG, which makes it noisey during day. Many power pedestals or the sewer hookups are broken/damaged. Easy to see up all sites were level. Many of them are nice and deep. Real smoky from the numerious campfires being burned. Bathrooms are just ok.

One of the prettiest campgrounds we have stayed at. The attendants are so nice and helpful. Bathrooms always clean.
One negative was only Black Bear bathrooms were open. Will be back.
