Customer Reviews
Spend 1 night there with my family. The campground is great, it has a ton of amenities: there is a food storage box and 2 outhouses. There are picnic tables at each site as well as fire rings. Each campsite also comes with Parking. You will need to to check in at the visitor center to get a yellow tag for your car Water runs close to camp. It is relatively small stream but enough to collect water to filter and drink. The camp is quite since there are only 3 sites. 1 is the closest to the entrance and less private. 2 is the closest to the water and 3 is the most private.
Three campsites spread out in an opening. All three were well kept. Site #2 is the closest to water. #2 and #3 best for privacy with #3 being heavily wooded. Horse tie-ups between #2 and #3. Site #1 closest to the outhouse and food locker but less wooded (more sun). Hike to it wasn't terribly difficult once you're past Upper Falls Campground.
