This is a great campground! There were three large tables surrounding a campfire area and two pit toilets. There were lots of nice spaces to put a tent. FYI, It is at least a 45 minute drive away from cell phone service. Also, bring some of your own toilet paper in case it runs out. We were okay because we brought some of our own. Also, note that you have to get a burn permit for using a gas stove or lighting a campfire. (The permit is free, but has to be done online before you go).

Very enjoyable camping experience. We only had 17 people show up but that turned out to be a good thing. The site is very large but a lot of it wouldn't have made for great camping. It could use some more level tent spaces cut into it to make it more user friendly for larger groups than ours. The two outhouses were clean and in very good shape. There was plenty of shade keep out of the sun during the day. The camp host was very friendly and accommodating. This campsite is a little out of the way and there is not anyplace nearby to play in the water but with the Trail of 100 Giants close by and lots of trails for hiking we were vary happy.

The location was beautiful, and even though you have to drive through a pretty burned out area it was very green. The only problem is that we were never able to find the freshwater source. There was a post but it was capped off. I called three times before we went there to make sure there was freshwater available, however, we were never able to find where it was.
