Beautiful camp ground with pretty big sites. They are in clusters of several sites together but still plenty of room. We went during the week and barely anyone was there. We did find a flatish place to put our pop up. But definitely more tent sites. We paid for 2 nights but ended up leaving after the first but only because it started raining for so long that everything was getting to be a muddy me... Beautiful camp ground with pretty big sites.

I wish we could’ve stayed both nights. There was a fire ban so no fire but that was ok.

The campsites are clean and well maintained by the camp hosts, it's so beautiful and quiet. Costs $28 a car overnight to camp. Bring your own firewood. There is a "Bathroom" and each campsite include a bearbox. Cell service available, I was able to work and use my phone while I was up there and the younger kids had tablet use when antsy.

My partner and I went camping and stayed here, the paying station it’s pretty easy to use. For every station you get a bear box, “booth”, parking area and a woodfire area. There is also a couple of restrooms located all over the place so that’s nice. We had a really good little getaway at nature over here. It brought us closer to each other while we where able to appreciate all the beauty of natur... My partner and I went camping and stayed here, the paying station it’s pretty easy to use.

Friendly Park Ranger came by with firewood bundles for sale and to collect campsite fees. He warned us of the bears and encouraged us to use the bear boxes. Campsites are close enough to hear each other but not too close to be bothersome.
