Customer Reviews
Gorgeous, secluded campground with amenities close by. There are pit toilets and potable water spouts throughout the campground. Campsites are nicely spaced out and there’s tons of hiking nearby. Very nicely maintained and super relaxing. Also there’s a few other campgrounds farther up the mountain with more of a view if that’s what you’re looking for. Excited to go back! 10/10 recommend
