Sept stay was beautiful but cold. Heavily wooded campground with 10 sites scattered along the campground road with lots of space inbetween sites. Gurgling creek (in Sept) meandering thru campground. Our site was long and roomy even with our slides on both sides of trailer. No hookups available. We forgot that our diesel truck needed to be plugged in for the cold night - but a friendly neighbor with a generator got it started for us. With babbling creek, we never heard his generator two sites over but thankful he had it! Lots of beautiful national forest to explore - campground is in midst of everything! Continuing down the road after the last site in the campground are a bunch of cabins scattered along a nice road for hiking. Warnings about bears but we didn't see any evidence of them. Would love to spend lots more time in this amazing campground - the beauty of trees and creek and large sites so you don't feel stuffed in a parking lot - this is the best camping!!

Great camping experience. My first stay on a National Forrest Park. Arrived late in the day so I was a little anxious. The staff person was wonderful. She explained everything and made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Beautiful site and overall great experience. Only negative comment would be “need better signage in town. I couldn’t determine the correct route and had to stop a and ask direction at a local business.”
