The campgrounds were very pretty. The only negative thing I would say is the restrooms needed to be clean.

We booked our site and someone was already on it. Luckily, we found another site that was open. There was no campground host to be found. Even the campground host site was vacant.

One of the nicest USFS campgrounds in the US. Perfectly manicured facility and nice setting.

It was quite like we like it. We have stayed there for 30+ years. No sewer hook up so we know we have to use the bath house. They were nasty this trip

The atmosphere and scenery are absolutely beautiful. The area could use some upgrades but many great trails and attributes that could not be replicated in todays world.

Park is beautiful, old growth forest and outdated. Bathhouses very clean, grounds kept very well. Little cell service on upper loop and none in lower loop. Great Park for tenters, popups and small travel trailers but only a few spots can handle larger travel trailers or motor homes. We have a 27' with no slide and barely got in, parking the camper half on the tent pad and half on the paved section. No room to open patio area beside camper and have to set up behind camper. Most sites are like this. In upper loop, many pads are not level in parking area and are too short. Glad we went but will stay on lower loop next time so we can set up our patio under awning. Every other slot is reservable so is you have a travel trailer and going on a weekday don't worry about reservation and pick your spot based on your unit size and slides. Tent pads are the best I've seen anywhere, popups and small 20' campers will do fine, as the park is old and not updated, the park was designed for you. Park is very isolated and quiet. For anyone with a larger unit I would recommend scouting this one out if you are in range to pick your spot out because you may have to jump spots to find one that fits. Lower loop much better for level parking travel trailers. Small units and tents to upper loop. Don't let this review discourage you, it's beautiful and secluded and is a park worth visiting.
