Great campsite and campground, we stopped here when our last site didn't work out and glad we did, plenty of room for our 42' trailer and gorgeous hikes and views. All are first-come spots and there were plenty open all the time (We stayed early July) Most of the pull thrus were taken by small cars and campers which would have fit fine in a back in but we found a nice pull thru that worked. We used our generator a few hours each day to charge some electronics and cool the trailer. Otherwise quite, pet friendly and the spots are far enough apart. Great campground for $10
Nice clean place off Hwy 93 with just a tad of Hwy sound. $15/ night. Easy to find a spot for my 20ft van. Mostly level spots. Can hear the sound of a stream.
Very nice campground - paved the whole way! Quiet location that feels removed from everything. However, a grocery store and other stores are within a very short drive.
