Very peaceful. Had a few young eagles hanging out with us near our campsite. It was glorious.

This was a great site, but there are even better ones in the campground. It is a beautiful campground, a little of the beaten path, but we enjoyed it.

We like the spacing in-between the site. We had issue trying to call customer service wot get site switched. We tried to modify and switch sites online, but recreation.gov site did not work. Say in hold for over an hour on hold and call dropped several times.
