Excellent Site
We tent camped here for 3 nights and loved this campground. The tent sites are spacious - can’t exaggerate that enough. the workers were friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were clean and had plenty of showers available. There is a playground centrally located, tennis court and basketball - all equipment available from the office. They also had board games for use and a pool table inside. There are a couple of pontoon boats available for rental as well! We took out kids on a couple hikes, be sure you have an interagency pass for parking at trailheads! Fantastic getaway!

Not for Everyone
If you're a active, reservist, national guard, or retired military and desperate for a site with no other option then this might work for you for a day. Reservation can be made up to two months in advance but was able to stay for a night due to emergency situation prior to a white rafting trip the following day. Pets are not allowed anywhere in the facility but have potable water, internet access, toilets, showers. Cabins are also available which is probably nicer accommodation versus pitching the tent out. If you could avoid it, then do and plan well ahead.
