We love the time that we spend at Hunter's Trail head. The camp hosts are very accommodating and always willing to help . We also met Forest Ranger Chuck we was also very helpful and pleasant.
We were not able to be at the Trailhead for the entire time that I was able to book. When I tried to modify my reservations thru Recreation.gov it would not allow me to do that. I know that Hunter Trailhead is a popular spot in the summer and wanted to allow someone else time to utilize that spot. Unfortunately because I was not allowed to do this our campsites sat empty for one week with no one using them.

Beautiful riding nice camp ground other then the poop bins not getting cleaned on a weekly base which was unpleasant when you are camped right across from them. Nice camp host.
