Nice quiet campground with lots of space in between sites. Site 35 is nestled up to the thick forest and very private.

The campground itself was fine. But the water source was undrinkable. It smelled and tasted like rotten eggs. Bring your own water if you come here.

The campsites and the toilets were kept very clean. The camp host was very helpful and friendly. However the water was Un drinkable due to extremely high sulfur odor. It was not noted on the website.

AP is always beautiful and we come several times per year. It’s quiet and spaces are usually very well maintained.

Site 16 is really close to Site 17, so you should book both if you are tent camping. The host was really nice and helpful. The vault toilet was clean. The picnic benches need replacement. Lots of splinters and they weren't really designed for adults to get into and out of.

This rustic campground has vault toilets, wooded hilly terrain and lots of quiet beauty. The water well near site 25 has a very distinct sulphur smell, but we used it anyway to wash away the sweat from our hike up trail 19. The campsite has a beautiful stream of water running alongside it which is audible at night. Its trees provide lots of serene shade and the sound of the breeze blowing through is magical. Its elevation makes it cool at night, and urges you to go slowly and take in the sites of the wildflowers and birds in the area. The area is mixed with tent campers, small RVs and a few big ones too. Some sites are pull through, and some are two levels with a picnic table either up some steps or down some steps. Our site was level and ample for our small trailer. Bring your water and food as there are very few stores or restaurants in the area. The camp host discourages filling tanks with water from the well near her site near the entrance of the campground. There is a drought and the well can't handle a bunch of larger RVs taking on water. We would camp here again, but bring in our small pop up camper with water in the tank. Road maintenance would earn this camp another star, and some more thorough trail maps with elevation gains, difficulty ratings and directions would help too.
