Isolated site close to the bathrooms minimal neighbors. I like the biking trails that go just about through camp. Bathroom is pretty clean little smelly nothing too out of the ordinary.

I truly loved this place! Paved road was nice and the views were amazing from our site! Camp host was so nice and drove by to introduce himself and make us aware of the animals around and how to be safe. I loved the peace and quiet I got here!

Took my boys for their first camping trip. It was a lovely time. Got in a little late on Friday night and had to set up in the dark. Luckily our camp site was well marked and easy to find. Took a nice hike on the McGill Trail and packed out on Sunday. Beautiful stars and sunrise Sunday morning. Will definitely come back.

Great place to get away for peace and quiet and well off the grid. Does have cell service but not much to do in the area. Peaceful and can get chilly to cold at night in September and October. It's nice to be able to cook over an open fire if desired. Camp spots are clean and have a nice table and fire ring.
