Me and my family stayed here for 3 days, and the campground is pretty enough, but for our 1st time here, it was not the best experience. There are camp posts on site, they were nice, and they provided us wood at a fair price, however, they do not hold anyone to the 10 PM quiet time rule as stated on the reservation. We were campsite 8 and 9, and a large group was directly to the right of us, and...

We were campsite 8 and 9, and a large group was directly to the right of us, and they partied, screamed, and yelled until 3am, and started back up by 10am with the techno music going. The second part is more of a warning for families, and is my fault for not doing more research. There is no running water at the sites, no sinks in the bathroom, and no flushing toilets. The camp hosts do keep the bathrooms clean, and smelling as good as possible, but with a full campground of people, trying to get through the smell in the Port-a potty is rough. The road is a typical dirt and gravel road, but right when you get into the campground, it is extremely rocky, so just be mindful of that. Again, the campground was very beautiful, when it was quiet, it was peaceful, and it is just a short 5 minute drive to Boca Lake, however, when you have a family, flushing toilets and a sink in the bathroom is a necessity for us.

Cristi does an absolutely amazing job caretaking the campground and land and even raked the areas around our campfire when we had to run to town and Mike is always offering his assistance with firewood and is ready to help out in anyway. I feel blessed to have such an amazing home away from home and cant wait to come back!

I camped here with a group of friends this past weekend. A solid spot with a good tree cover and clear underbrush. Most of the sites are slanted though, but we were able to find places to pitch tents without too much rolling. The picnic tables and fire rings were in good shape.

The picnic tables and fire rings were in good shape. There was a bear box or two on some sites, but most didn't appear to have them yet. We just put all our food and trash away in the car every night and had no issues. The trees helped the area stay cool and still let enough open sky through. The stars were beautiful and very visible every night as there was very little light pollution. There's a meadow next to the campsite that's a beautiful spot to take in the sunset and see the stars. I didn't have much interaction with the host, but there was some firewood. It's a heavy ATV area, so that was a background noise at times. Overall though, a great time and I already recommended it to a few friends because we were able to book last minute this summer.

Beautiful campground, but ruined by entitled users and lack of Forest Service coverage. The campground itself is great, every site has lots of room. Some back up to the woods, others to the spring itself. Forest floor is more dirt than pine needles, I'm assuming this is intentional with the problems with fires. A nice hike around the spring and the associated creek are pretty relaxing. While we... Beautiful campground, but ruined by entitled users and lack of Forest Service coverage.

Forest floor is more dirt than pine needles, I'm assuming this is intentional with the problems with fires. A nice hike around the spring and the associated creek are pretty relaxing. While we were there, several campsites had 6+ vehicles staying at the standard campsites (not group site) and were driving small ORVs and motorcycles back and forth through the campground and up and down the hill at the north end of the park. I arrived at around 3 PM, but didn't see any rangers until around 9 AM the next morning. I'll skip this campground next time. I realize I was there in high summer but it was unbelievably noisy and busy. Hard to have any quiet with the number of vehicles coming and going.
