Great spot, natural spring, stone fireplace cooktops, picnic shed, 20 camp spaces. Mushrooms everywhere after mother's day till June
this is a very pretty area with a really good spring water source running everyone comes and gets their water, how ever, every memorial weekend and im sure on other holidays the forest service does not come and check on the bathroom to resupply it and does not come and check to see if someone is saving spots it is first come first serve and it leaves large families with trailers having to crowd together, there was one guy there this memorial weekend that planted tents down where trailers should have instead of putting them in the tented areas
Loved loved loved it! Natural water spring you can drink from and refill water jugs, restroom, plenty of room for RVs, tent pads, man-made rock firepits/cooktops, smaller loop so be careful how big something is before you drive around
Camp spots are very close together. And the bathroom there was AWFUL. Out of toilet paper and covered in garbage. Has an awesome covered picnic area and a nice well faucet to rinse off. Would be really nice if it was cared for better.
Nice beautiful campground, but you're going to have neighbors so if you like shoulder to shoulder camping go for it.
Good place to get water when you spend a week up in the mountains.
Delicious and no yella fever.
