Great little campground right on the creek. Quiet and well kept. Dan was very friendly and engaging. He does a terrific job of making sure the camp is well tended and clean. Will be back next year.

We stored all our food and scented items there.

This is a really nice campground although not a lot of sites. The camp spots are fairly spread out and some of them have a great view. Vault toilets, fire rings, and bear boxes are provided. There is an even, gravel square are for tents. The campground host is very friendly!

Lower Honeymoon Flats has a creek that runs directly behind it. Every camping spot there is only steps away from the creek. The bathrooms were maintained very well. And the each site had plenty of room and shade. Except for sites 12 and 13, these two had NO shade.
