Customer Reviews
Nicely laid out campground with plenty of privacy between spaces. Each spot has a table and fire ring and some also have a charcoal grill. Sites are fairly level some more than others. Plenty of room for all size rigs. Nice tent areas at most sites also. Restrooms were clean and kept up, one towards the front of the CG and the other towards the rear. There is good water but only one faucet near the hosts camper. Mike, the host was great. Gave me a quick brief of the CG and he also has wood for your fires at a reasonable price. Cell service is lacking but I found that if I hiked the small hill behind my spot I could make calls and sent texts through T Mobile. Very quiet with no real road noise noticeable. Most are reserve sites but I think about 8 are first come first served, which is nice. I was there last week in Aug on a Monday and there was only one other camper so that time of year probably no problem finding a space without reservations. Overall a great CG.
We stayed here in May of 2023. We were passing through and needed a place to camp for the night. It was very peaceful and we would stay here again. Stayed here again in September 2024. Got a different site which was a good one too. The toilets had been upgraded since our last stay to nicer ones. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
Great little campground. Host, Rick is awesome! Very rare to find clean vault toilets, but they even smell good. Nice touch to line the loop & toilet buildings with solar lights. Easy on & off 160. Will be back 👍
A true gem of a little campground. Labor Day weekend and it was practically empty! Great view of chimney peak from the ridge. Very friendly and informative camp host named Toni. Highly Recommend!!!
Very nice camp, peaceful and quiet with hiking trails. Great host! A great spot to stop. Doesn't have the mountain views of some others.
