Reviews
Overall, this campsite offers a unique and affordable camping experience with beautiful creekside views and a peaceful atmosphere, particularly in the less crowded months. While the vault toilets can be unpleasant and some sites may feel crowded, the presence of bear boxes and the isolation of certain walk-in sites are appreciated by campers. The campground's proximity to town and hiking trails adds to its appeal, making it a solid choice for nature lovers.
