Awesome campground, for RVers tenters alike. The space between sites is ample and you get the feeling that you are camping by yourself. Campground provides direct access to an amazing trail system with many miles, different loops, and excellent scenery. Super nice beginner level mountain biking.

Nice campground! It’s a few miles from the entrance of the park. Sites are spacious. They have Electricity and Water. A picnic table and a fire pit are also available. The restrooms have showers. Dogs must be on leash

I wish their were six stars!! First the basics, fair price, nice level sites, clean bathrooms, nice showers and really sweet camp host. All good...but what a place. The views are spectacular. The multi-use trails were really cool and bountiful. But the coolest was the sunset!!
