Site 3. Possibly the best campsite in America. Directly adjacent to the creek on one side and a large rock formation on the other, so it felt very isolated. Extremely quiet. Friendly campground host. Clean bathrooms. Note that other sites at this campground were not so quiet due to a generator. (One guy with a generator can ruin it for everybody else. Please don’t run a generator at a place like this.)
