Very quite and peaceful campground. Took us 3.5 hours here from the Shale Arm. There’re 3 campsites available here but we were only one of two groups (of two) that were camping that night. Caught in a mild thunderstorms during our dinner but it wasn’t so bad at all. The toilet area was pretty isolated and peaceful 😀 To talk a shower at the creek after a long day backpacking felt heavenly fresh. I... Very quite and peaceful campground.

The toilet area was pretty isolated and peaceful 😀 To talk a shower at the creek after a long day backpacking felt heavenly fresh. I usually got scared sleeping in the tent when backcountry but the sounds of the creek was such a lullaby. I was sleeping like a baby. Five stars is too little to rate this place 💚
