Great place to camp with a group of youth. Quiet, easy to get to, wide open spaces, and fun hiking trails. The occasional freight train next to camp is fun too. Running potable water and restrooms throughout the park.

Took a scout troop, and the site was great! Strong water supply, acceptable bathrooms. Beautiful hikes! On one hike we stopped at the lodge for treats and a rest. The staff was incredibly nice there! I highly recommend it!

Youth site is very congested access to most sites required going through another occupied site. Only 1 set of outhouses for almost 20 sites, unkempt weeds, and overgrown grass throughout . Luckily mosquitoes and ticks were not an issue this time.
