Amazing campground and location! Enough space for folks to have some privacy at their own tent but close enough to make it easy to join together for meals and bonfires. Beautiful area and love having the stream right behind the campground!

Easy to find and get to. Stream crossing was not a big deal. We had some rain the night we were there but were still able to cross in a full size suv. There are a number of picnic tables (4?), a rudimentary grill and a fire ring. There's a "cabinet" we used to keep our trash in overnight. It appeared to be bear proof. Ton of open field. A nice stream. FYI we heard a ton of coyotes at night.

I love this campsite. It can accommodate our entire staff, the new grills are great for cooking for a large group and the water running through the site it great for the hot summer weather. We like to stroll down the the larger creek at the entrance for swimming too.
