Nice campground. Clean bathrooms. People should know that site #9 is right on top of Site #8. Very little privacy between these two. But otherwise, nice!

Site 4 is a nice site, however there is a great deal of road noise from the forest service road directly behind it. Also quite a few mooing cows throughout the night
