The group site is amazing!! It is surrounded by large pine trees. It has its own private road and is secluded from other campsites. Has at least 10 spots for tents. It has its own water to fill up trailers. The bathrooms are a short walking distance up hill. There are wood stairs to the main camp area. I wouldn’t recommend it if you need handicap accessible.

Large quiet campground with lots of room. I'm in a manual wheelchair and it is Not very wheelchair friendly to get up to the main table and firepit area. The restrooms were Not wheelchair friendly either, I had to drive down to porcupine camp to use those restrooms
