A great place to unwind and detox from hectic work and hustle and bustle.

We arrived late, checked in, very helpful at headquarters. . He even brought the wood we bought($7) to our car. I've read in reviews they do that to check if you have alcohol( prohibited) and they will ask you to leave if you do have any.

If you're camping to party, this is NOT for you.

22 campsites. Some on the side of the quiet road, but most on off road, we chose a site near the camp trail for hiking, it was fabulous, quiet.

The bathrooms/showers were a very quick walk. Showers were SO HOT! Bathroom's clean.

Potable water outside. Big huge restaurant quality sink to clean your dishes in.

Bear boxes at every site that when checking in,headquarters they will tell you to absolutely use them. Maybe a bit overkill on the warning, but I wasn't taking any risks and everything fit in there perfectly.

Also told not to leave anything with scent or food in your car because a bear can damage the car.

Hooting owls at night.

Hiking trails were an easy/ moderate... Lead to a small waterfall that poured into a pool. Signs everywhere for no jumping off the rocks or swimming. But I'm very sure people swim here.

I feel like this campground is geared more to adults that are trying to unwind,but there were families with kids and they were awesome. They all were playing outdoor games and enjoying the outside.

Quiet time is 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and everyone abided it.

Fire pits in each site.

Some sites have a drop off behind them, not dangerous, but if you have little ones I would be cautious.

I look forward to visiting again next year
