It was slightly confusing. We were able to find the campground, but we never did see a sign that marked the forest service Road we were able to find it because I had looked on the Google map before we got to the area and saw the lodge listed as being on the same road there’s no cell service up there so it made it kind of tricky. There was no host in the Camper and our site said occupied, but after speaking to another Camper, we figured out that someone had marked it as occupied for us. It is a very remote location.

Campsites were well spaced with lots of shade and the campground is near several nice hiking trails. There was a bit of noise during the day from OHV traffic on the adjacent road.

Very clean and well kept camp ground the space was large and the camp units are spaced out so we didn't feel cramped in at all. Lots of wildlife in the area

Website is not clear in description of this site. We reserved a tent spot so expectations were not high. Site did not have adequate parking for 2 vehicles, no table and no fire pit. We wound up going elsewhere and forfeiting our reservation dollars.
We’ve stayed on the mountain many times and until now we’ve been very happy

The campground was fantastic. The sites were large, the views beautiful, and we had very little road noise. However, the camp host was the worst we have ever experienced. We booked our site 6 months in advance, but had someone in our site when we arrived. The camp host asked us to talk to them ourselves, saying she didn’t like to. Turns out, they were in the wrong site because she gave theirs away even though it was booked. When approached again, she recommended we take someone else’s site. We said we weren’t comfortable taking someone else’s, but she responded that her job was very hard and she didn’t want to do anything, but we were welcome to call some else. The people in our site graciously offered to leave, even though they had booked a site as well. When they approached her, she stated, “you’re making me uncomfortable by making me feel badly”.
It’s one thing to make a mistake. No big deal. But to force paying customers to fix it themselves and then insist it’s their fault for making her feel badly…unacceptable.
Fantastic campground all around, but have a back up plan for sleeping arrangements.
