Stopped here for a night while traveling through in mid-March. We were welcomed by the host who brought us a map of the park and informed us of all the amenities (trails, laundry, etc). Very friendly!

And the showers!! Best showers we have experienced so far! Clean, hot, and a real lever (no push button-like many campgrounds).

Spent the night here passing through. I did make a reservation just in case but there were a couple sites open. Nice, small campground, most sites are back in but there are a few pull through sites. The staff were friendly and the campground seems maintained fairly well. No wifi and Verizon is touchy. Out in the recreation area I had one bar and LTE though the data seemed pretty good. My site was right at the beginning of the campground. Inside my camper I could only get a signal if I put my phone in the window. The signal was good enough to stream and FaceTime but if I took it out of the window I’d lose signal.

The sites are nice and not on top of each other. They are a nice finer type gravel and mostly level. Big patio area with a picnic table and fire pit. Some of the sites at the front will give you a decent view of the lake, site 18 being the best I believe, I was in site 20.

It’s open year round according to the website. Not sure how big rig friendly it is and I couldn’t find any information on the website, I’d call first. I don’t recall seeing any 5th wheel or motor homes back there.

Overall, very nice campground and I would visit again. There is an 1850’s mountain house in the park just prior to the entrance to the campground/recreation area. There is a fee and you’ll have to check the hours. I forgot to take a picture but the song on the gift shop door said certain days by appointment only and I think Friday thru Sunday they were open for a period of time.

Nice campground with some hiking. The site was reasonably level. and you aren't too close to your neighbors. The bath house was close and was clean and up to date.

We arrived late on a Sunday and had no issues finding our pad. Looks like the recently leveled and packed the pads with fine gravel. All hook-ups were functional.
