The campground is just inside Big South Fork NRR with multiple easily accessible trails. Be aware that most of the sites are around 30 feet long, but they're plenty wide enough for all your gear/equipment. There is a bathhouse that's clean and decently maintained. We had site 8 which backed up to a small pond. It's a beautiful, no frills, but very clean campground.

The campground is small but very nice and well kept. Some of the sites aren't very long. The bathroom/shower house was clean. The window in the family shower is surprisingly clear and visible from the upper loop. We had to block the window with a tote lid. Each site has a food storage box. We did see a bear along the campground road. We would stay here again.

Campground was great for RV and large travel trailers. There are stes with 30 and 50 amp service and sites for up to about 50 feet. The 50 amp service are sites 30 through 40. There no sewer hookups, just a dump station. The camp is remote about 15 minutes from Stearns which has grocery store, auto parts and convenience stores. There is no firewood for sale, so bring it with or scavenge for wood.... Campground was great for RV and large travel trailers.

Great campground, well laid out and clean. Bathrooms were well maintained and the campsites were clean and well set up. My only negative(for us) was no trails leading directly from the campground. Or at least none we found. Will definitely go back. Great for camping with kiddos!

Overall it is a nice campground with a pretty good price since it has free showers and hookups at every site. Tent pad was very roomy. There was not a camp host when we were there, which wasn't great. The frogs are very loud, so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper in a tent. There is a lot of poison ivy in the woods around the sites, but it is cleared back some.
