Primitive, but beautiful

Granite Creek Campground is primitive. There are pit toilets, but they are located only on the upper loop, so the sites in the lower loop are quite far away, so be prepared to dig a hole. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table, but that's it for amenities. There are a few small bear lockers scattered around the campground, but again, they're far apart and aren't very convenient. All that being said, I love Granite Creek CG. It's generally quiet, the sites are fairly far apart and private. It's a great "get away from it all" campground.
