Off grid, but accessible

General tent spots available with picnic tables. The campground itself is tucked back in the trees with fewer spots than some of the more popular spots near by. Close to the creek. A little uneven on the ground front, but enough choices to make due. This site is mostly shaded, so can be colder than other setups around.
