Beautiful, well maintained campground tucked in the forest. Sites are fairly private and there are clean conveniently placed restrooms. Beautiful and rugged areas to explore close by. $15 per night is a great price. Bring cash or check because although you can pay online there is no cell service to do so once you arrive.

We enjoyed the interpretive trail. We even found some Huckleberries! The campground was private and the sites were larger than we needed. I'd totally stay again!

Great campground in the trees. Decent space between campsites. Clean. Creek near the campground. In the forest but close to the interstate. Reasonably close to the Hiawatha bike trail. The camp host had wood for us to use for the evening.
