The road up to this campsite is not for everyone. Especially rvs..it very narrow and washboard and full of potholes. There is no cell signal, even with my sirius internet hotspot, zero until you get mostly down the mountain. Therefore you will be navigating a long curvy and narrow road up and down with other vehicles coming in opposite direction (some blind curves). There are also no stores super close or other services, so plan accordingly. A vehicle breaking down here would not be ideal. We helped a few folks who where lost, so download your maps beforehand. There are no water spigots, so you must bring your own water. Lots and lots of gnats, flies and mosquitoes in june-july. Some super pesky but cute skunks kept coming right into our campsite despite us sitting there making noise to deterr them. The creek nearby is really nice, but very dried up in summer and seems to get overused by folks coming in that are not camping in the area, they come and take up the little spots there that are for folks that did pay to camp. The camphost needs to check more often for day use passes, as this area should be treated with care, there was a biologist there during our visit testing the water quality and its impact on fish downstream that are endangered. Also some campsites have very decent shade, but several only partial and the heat was brutal in summer. Bathrooms where not cleaned or maintained for days while we where there. Overall the area is beautiful but an adventure to reach.
