Absolutely amazing campsite, I came up all four ways. The easiest is from 411 take mills creek road to trail 17 it comes out near campsites. The lake and fall colors were amazing as well.

This campground did not have a ranger to check us in, and the signage to find our campsite was minimal. The Google directions scared us, because it told us that upon arrival we would have to park our car and hike in to our spot, which is not how the spot was described online (ultimately we were able to drive to our spot)--we had specifically chosen a site where we could park a car (up to two), so we were very confused if we were going to have to carry all of our equipment in or if we were even being taken to the actual entrance. We made several wrong turns in the campground before locating a posted map to locate our spot. The spot itself was fine with great trees/shade--it was rustic--but close to a vault toilet. The first night was quiet with good neighbors, but the 2nd nite, the people in campsite #8 were completely rowdy and partying until the wee hours of the morning (around 1 a.m.), yelling, laughing, playing music, and talking very loudly and totally ignoring the 10p quiet hours. Since the campground didn't seemed to be manned by anyone, there was no one to report this to (and no cell signal to call anyone if things had spiraled out of hand). We never saw anyone drive around to check that things were ok. That was a little unsettling, because it seemed like there would not have been anyone to get ahold of in an emergency. We came to unplug and enjoy quiet time in nature (and this campground would have been perfect for that if it weren't for the completely raucous group being obnoxious and keeping everyone else from sleeping). I'm not sure we would stay again as we didn't feel particularly safe with no one patrolling. Also, you have to drive around 6 miles down a gravel road to get to it--we weren't prepared for that. Would be nice to have had a little hand sanitizer in the vault toilets, and one of the two ran out of toilet paper. Aside from those things, we had a nice time.
