Great weather and shady. Hot showers and well maintained restrooms. Only concern was that some sights can only accommodate 6 person or fewer tents. We brought a ten person which extended into our neighbors area but everyone was polite and no one complained. Well recommended camp site.

Bruce and crew do a nice job keeping bathrooms and campsites clean. Also keeping the site markers up to date on the reservation status of each site. Weekend stays are too busy for me since campsites are too close to each other but we still enjoy our stays. Xfinity and Verizon have good cell service coverage.

Site 10 was ok but I’d choose another site next time. Too close to vault toilets. Vault toilets were clean and stocked with toilet paper. The campground was well kept. Nice trails. Water and garbage close but not too close. Overall it was a very positive experience.

Site 10 has good privacy and level for tent camping. Campground was clean and very quite.
