Campground no long maintained. All grown up in weeds and a good place to get snake bit. Picnic table seats are broken. Bathrooms closed. Waste of money! Terrible experience campsite #10 August 2023

This is the start to the Spring Creek trail. The campground seemed abandoned. We had to leave the car outside since the gate was closed. The trail is marked though. We had a great time with the kids (11 and 13) and dogs. There are several entrances to the creek where you can chill out and picnic. Overall great experience.
What a magical place! Awesome little hike to the water which is so fresh and lovely. Our daughter was in love with it and we fell asleep watching the fireflies above us. Everyone was chill and calm. Definitely want to come back and spend more time.
