Very quiet. 1st night only one other campsite and the campground host was "off" for two days. This was interesting as the campground host left their garbage out in a bag and a Black Bear and her cub decided it was lunch. Got pictures and everything. Awesome experience but I ended up watching from inside my vehicle. DON'T EVER GET CLOSE TO A MOMMA BEAR AND HER CUB....

The location was excellent. Be aware there is no cell reception but there is a little market and cafe about 15 mins down the road where you can buy firewood and they have wifi. The camp host was very kind. Some of the sites are very, very small and most have little to no privacy. But the area is beautiful and I would come back here.

Worth the drive! The site was beautiful and clean, and the host was very kind and helpful. It is a primitive campsite with small sites and a vault toilet, but with quiet and amazing scenery. We have a tiny pop-up tent, and it was perfect for the area.

Really noisy camp neighbors. Up at 5:30 chopping wood with a whining dog which made it impossible to sleep in at all. The site is good and the camp host is great and nice
