Overall, the campsite is really nice, but if you have a low car like a sedan, you most likely will need to park on the main road because to get to the campsite parking lot you must drive to a medium to deep stream. The campsites themselves are really nice and clearly marked. Fire rings are available, but I did find a lot of trash around the campsites.

Awesome camping area you must cross a stream to get to it but I’d say most if not all cars can cross it, I went across in a Honda accord and there were a couple of Prius’ across it too. The tent areas were awesome and plenty of fire pits and of course the restroom being so close is a huge bonus. Beautiful area and the hiking trails are pretty well maintained, lots of downed trees but still gorgeou...

Great for a hike or bike day. The camping spots were also awesome. If you're gonna bike, get ready for some intense climbing, but it's worth it for the downhill speed.

Went out in the evening just to walk around and check this spot out. If you like camping secluded away from the world and connecting with nature this is the spot for you. Beautiful quiet place right along the creek.
