7 or 8 space campground, 3 or 4 'hike-in' spots and 3 or 4 drive up spots, the campsite we stayed at was a drive up spot, $15 a night for one car up to 8 people $20 for two cars (max) all the sites are arranged differently I saw three of them, all had a plastic picnic table, a log bench, and I fire-pit with a grill.

A covered picnic area and two barbeques, two bear boxes(trash), one was by the trench bathrooms which is also next to the payment receptacle. All around a surprisingly well kept campground for being a 20-minute gravel drive out in the woods.

Beautiful hike to the falls, maybe a half mile hike from campground. The hike was fairly easy, not flat but not rockhopping either :)

Kid/dog friendly to an extent-lots of poison ivy so watch them closely. Only wildlife we saw were chipmunks.

My only complaint were the other campers who stayed up all night screaming hit songs at the top of their lungs/fighting/lighting campfires at the height of wildfire season. They literally ripped down the no fire sign. 🙄😣 But other than that it was great.
