Great, off the beaten path campground. Stayed at site 7 which was definitely the most secluded, largest site. Very clean bathrooms and it was great to have the bear box and fire pit!

Although right next to a road, the traffic is minimal. The campsites aren't too close to each other and some offer enough flat space for a few tents or a large one. Be aware that the campsite is part of an open range for cattle. We had many visitors all throughout the night however this added to a great weekend of camping.
