Arrived on a Thursday afternoon. Looked like most sites were reserved for the weekend. You have to obtain a free permit before camping. No cell reception, so we couldn't even find out where or how to get it. Very disappointed.
Bugs were terrible, and the outhouse was in desperate need of cleaning. Heat and bugs prevented any exploring. Will come back once it cools down. It was super quiet, which we loved.
This place is absolutely drop dead gorgeous so quiet and so clean looking forward to going back
Great site! Very pretty area, well-maintained vault toilets, and it feels very safe and secure. As other reviews have noted, there is no cell service around most of the campgrounds, but I was able to connect a few minutes back up the road. Giving it four stars because the roads are a bit confusing and rough with little signage. I was able to get there OK in my Honda Civic but I got stuck in a pothole going up a hill and I had to back up and then really rev my engine to get past the area.
