We really enjoyed A88 site even though it was in the middle of the campground. We felt we had our own "space" and privacy while also close to others if we wanted to engage socially. The deer just walked right through our campground in the evening which was cool. We were close to bathrooms (which were mostly clean) but far enough away to not hear the distraction of it. Showers were a bit of a walk and cost 5.00 but they are very nice! We were there during the week yet the campground was close to full. It was quiet and enjoyable. We loved having the lodge close to grab coffee and really liked being able to hike from from camp or drive a short bit to different hikes. The view would be better from outside sites; however, we did get the sunset each night looking over our firepit. Enjoyed that.

Beautiful fall foliage and great hiking choices! Campground was busy and generators running in several sites detracted from the overall experience. Sites in the generator free zone are on the smaller side but there is a quieter atmosphere.

Campsite is beautiful. Theoretically very secluded, except you still get the noise and smells from the regular sites. This last time this included some yahoo who ran a construction generator aimed towards the forest (and thus, the walk-to sites) that sounded like a dirt bike revving and spewed diesel fumes. I complained to the camp host but they don't seem to be willing to enforce the noise policy (under 60 dB) and they have no policy for pollutants. Second experience with this - so for me it's a pattern. Your experience might vary.

Spacious campground, facilities were clean and ample sites available for arriving last minute near the end of October.
