This group campsite was impacted by a recent fire and there are very few live trees. The campsite was clean and well maintained but not so picturesque as it likely once had been.

Great for 5 families. It would be nice to close the gate when a group has reserved the space many looky loos passing through creates an unsafe situation and feeling. The sign says full but it was disregarded at least 20 times during our three day stay. The maintenance person was kind but politely asked us to keep the gate open.

Beautiful group site!! 4 spurs with plenty of parking. The camp host was friendly and accommodating. The bathroom was clean. We loved having all the space to ourselves for our reunion. Big pine trees give plenty of shade. Stream nearby that the kids found success in catching small fish. I would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time. The facilities were cleaned everyday and he was always super nice. And the area isn't bad to look at either.
