Beautiful, quiet campground. Each site has a plastic dipped metal picnic table, a fire ring, and a parking pad. The ground is packed gravel and tree needles, so not much chance of mud. Our site, #23, has space for 3 tents. There are no hookups and just pit toilets, but the pit toilets are the nicest I've come across. Enclosed in a nice modern building, and they don't smell. The campground host lights a scented candle inside the toilet building at night. The road through the campground and leading to it has many rills and washouts, so drive slowly. Each is marked by orange cones to give you a heads up. I personally would not want to drive a camper through here, or try to park it at a site, but we saw several smaller campers and camper trailers here. Beautiful scenery! FYI- you might not want to pitch your tent under trees that have pinecone bits underneath where squirrels have been eating. You might get woken up earlier than you want by pinecones being dropped on your tent! Cute little squirrels, though.

This was a beautiful hike, not too hard, a bit steep in some spots, but still really nice. Going in August, you don't have as many flowers out, early summer there are more flowers and it's really colorful which makes for an enjoyable hike. The lake was beautiful as well, great view from both above looking down at it and when you go down and hike around it.

I mean…. Just gorgeous. They put up ropes this year that your aren’t to cross, BUT while walking we noticed they also put these really great areas, roped off with mats put down, and little pictures of a camera. They were in great spots to take pictures. It was lovely! I love it!
