Love this campground. Bathrooms were clean and well attended. We were able to watch the Moose and Deer almost daily from our campsite (and a few times in our campsite)!

Great location, nice stream flowing along the site. Super clean sites and facilities. When leaving I had a hitch issue and the host was great help.
Thanks!

Lovely spot, site was difficult to back in to. Didn't see any bear, elk or moose. Big thunderstorm overnight. Route 14A to get here was steep, winding and narrow
