This campground is a gem. Just the fact that you are at the top of a mountain, surrounded by balsam firs and soft moss is magical enough. But I felt like the campground was maintained well also. Each campsite is unique in its own way. We were in site #1, which is quite sheltered from the wind (a good thing when camping there in October!), but if you are looking for views and don’t mind the wind then sites 5, 6 and 9 are the best for that. Site 1 is also the only one that does not require carrying all your stuff up the steep stairs! Having flush toilets is a nice perk, and they were really well taken care of. The camp manager was super friendly and had stickers for the kids plus treats for dogs. The bear bins are very large - maybe 4’w, 3’h, 3’d. More than enough space for our two day trip. We camped in October, which was cold (35-60s) but clear and dry. I imagine it can be cloudy and misty other times of the year, since it is so high. I highly recommend taking the walking trail to the observation tower, but be prepared for a somewhat strenuous walk that feels like a lot more than .6 miles!
