Secluded and quiet

The sites are amazing and have a good variety depending on what view you are looking for. The campground as a whole is not very large and there isn't much exploring in the immediate area. It's a cash only place, no showers, firewood collection, and no cell signal. Overall it's quiet and secluded, with the road leading up easily drivable in good weather conditions. The lake is about a 5 minute drive from the camp with decent fishing, but the lake is difficult to access due to steep cliffs at most points.

Small Quiet Campground

This campground is quite small and some or the spots can’t accommodate big trailers. The benefit is having a great quiet stay. Bathrooms are clean and the host is very helpful. We really like the fact that most areas are shaded and there are a lot of trees. I recommended this camp for a nice quiet and relaxing stay.
