Well kept, clean, safe campground and the only one open in the area in the late fall. Enjoyed my experience. Other campers were really excellent. The Bears do make the rounds around dinnertime though, so keep an eye out!

There are active bears. Our camp got raided and our bear box got broken into. Need to be a little more stern, especially on the sites near the back. Bears happened.

The host at the inn was helpful and friendly for finding our campsite, which was a good size and easily fit 4 people and 2 cars. The campsite was conveniently located near many beautiful places and hikes, while also being close to amenities like gas and grocery stores. The lower stars is due to the cleanliness of the campsite, there was quite a bit of litter scattered around (small pieces). I am not sure if they were left by previous occupants or blew in from the road but it did make the space feel a little bit less nice.

Nice campground with coin showers. A bit close to a busy road. The campsites are pretty large. Restrooms were quite clean and cleaned daily.

A great site. Got a little loud at times, and people kind of cut through camp to get to the trail, but we loved it.
