Great spot! The group site was set apart from the other sites which is nice for both our group and people in the other sites. The campsite was spacious w/ several water taps and clean pit toilets. The campsite is beside the river and surrounded by tall trees. It is 10 minutes from the Boulder Creek Trailhead and 20 minutes from the Lover's Camp Trailhead.
