It's very clean and quite we enjoyed it very well with one exception the restrooms they were clean but had bad odor from toliets not being empty and bugs were pretty bad inside the restroom but we would live to come back here again and camp.....

Shady, spacious sites with plenty of greenery for privacy. Numerous water spigots, very clean vault toilets, trash and dump! No electric or showers. Rustic but well maintained. Bring the insect repellant and something to brush away the mosquitoes if you visit in early April. Caterpillars are EVERYWHERE!

Stayed one night in campsite 6. Campground was well kept with a beautiful setting. Campsites were very spacious. Bathrooms were clean. Only complaints would be a little bit of road noise and the loud, obnoxious campers staying at the site beside us.

The campground is very well maintained, the campsites are semi private, but the biggest downer is the traffic noise, I did explore a-lot and found that people are ignorant and litter all over our national forest!
