The campground was quiet and clean. The camp host was very friendly and welcomed us on the first night. My only complaint is the road getting there, It's 4 miles of deep potholes.. that is a forest service issue

The campground was great. The location perfect to the park. The bathrooms were very clean all the time. And Kevin and Michelle, the campground hosts, were off the charts! They went way above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome

Our spot (#4) was close to water access and had nice views, yet included a semi-secluded area for our tent. Beautiful area and clean grounds.
