Beautiful campground in the pines
We stayed in December. Could not reserve or pay online. Tried scanning QR code but that wouldn’t work either. Talked to ranger who was friendly and helpful. Only a few campers and no snow (yet). Plenty of spots to choose from and was first come, first serve. Site 28 was pretty level. Highly recommend this campground.
Wonderfull place
A place where you are surrounded by beautiful nature. Deer pass by your camper in the morning. Everything very clean. We loved it!
Amazing off-season experience
Beautiful fog rolling in in the morning, kind people at the campsite, and bears at night (just sniffing around). Completely serene and calming as an off season experience (we stayed April 30 2023) The water is good to drink We had no cell service (T-Mobile / sprint) There was still a few feed of snow cover so dress warm!
