TravelerAbsolute gem
Awesome valley with access to the creek. There is also a nice trail up the mountain that forks into two other trails.

We stumbled upon this place while looking for a dispersed site. It's clean and the sites aren't piled on top of each other like other sites (only 6 sites total). I'm not a huge fan of campgrounds but I would definitely come back here in the future

It was a great time with my daughter. This was our second year back. The host is great, the hiking is great, this is a all around amazing place and I highly recommend it
