Not a lot of trees at campsite. It has it's own outhouse and the odor is well maintained. There was plenty of room to accommodate our large family and they were able to play outdoor games as well. We would go there again.
It was a practically perfect group campsite for our family reunion. Cousins were able to run and play and be noisy, and no other campers were around to be annoyed. The big rock made for great climbing. The one big pine tree provided great morning shade. Afternoons were spent at nearby Cleveland reservoir. Evenings were great, but it cools off quickly when the sun goes behind the mountain. The river cools the air down, also. Great sleeping, bring jackets and warm blankets. The nights were cold. The vault toilet was clean and pleasant, as pleasant as a vault toilet can be. The only drawback was no picnic tables. But, we were able to follow the shade with the portable tables we brought. We had a great experience.
