Customer Feedback:
- "We stayed 7 nights in Site #6... Our trailer is 29' bumper to tongue and we had plenty of room. There is water available in the campground but not at each site. And there is a threaded water spigot near site 14 if you want to fill your fresh water tank at the campground instead of hauling water up the mountain."
- "Tim, the camp host, is a great guy and very good at what he does. The vault toilets had to be one of the cleanest we've ever utilized!"

Beautifully maintained campground which had the roads inexplicably redone by two different counties and the forest service working together to provide a better experience to future campers-is the world coming to an end? Our camp host provided rugs to the potties! Nice-spotless!
