I like how there are a nice variety of campsites at this campground. There's variety in the views available, in how close you have to be to others, with several branches of sites. There's good radio reception and internet access.

The campgrounds are very scenic with great views. We like rustic camping so no need for water or electric. We knocked on the camp host's door to ask a couple of questions and on one answered. They do not sell firewood or anything else so come prepared.
