Camp host was very helpful and informative. Campground is well maintained despite the extreme flooding in early January. There is a crazy log jam probably 1/4 mile up the creek that is worth checking out.

Awesome campground by a lovely stream. I was in site 18 which would be great in the summertime (lots of shade) but it was a little too cold this time of year. Highway 33 is gorgeous as well.

The camp hosts were wonderful. Very helpful and friendly people! The facilities were very clean, despite the shutdown. One star off because the campsite I selected based on the photos online had tree(s) and when I arrived they were recently cut down with fresh cut sticks/branches still around the site. Definitely would've picked a different spot!

Our campsite is right next to the creek. The fall colors were wonderful. Falling asleep with the sound of the creek was the best thing of all. So peaceful and calming.
