5/5

Was a simple 1.5 mile hike in. Pre-registration required and check-in to receive vehicle tag must be done at the visitor center which opens at 8 am (gate opens at 7 am). The woman who registered me recommended taking the back path avoiding the falls because of all the stairs (following the sign to upper falls campground), but I figured I'd prefer the more scenic route past High Shoal Falls. Took it slowly but the stairs were no issue with my pack. Only short, steep sections. I ended up hiking the alternate route later during my stay and 0/10 would not recommend. It was nothing but a horribly long and steep slog uphill. The stairs are better.

The campsite itself has two privies with (maybe) TP and hand sanitizer, and a bear locker. There are six sites total, mine was site 5, the furthrest from the river (~100 ft). Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. Good distance between the sites so very quiet.
