ScoutNice spot to pull up and Park. Any vehicle can access it. Extremely packed on weekends... on weekdays multiple spots avaliable.
TravelerNice level sites, some in the trees. Very friendly camp hosts and owners. Be aware, there are not fixed restrooms, but only porticans, so you need to be pretty self contained.
TravelerStayed for the weekend, found a place tucked back away from the road and felt completely secluded from the world. No service, no noise, just the sound of the creek and an occasional car driving by. There is a lot of biting flies so bring bug spray if you plan to camp! Gets warm during the day but it does get pretty cold at night
GuideCame out on a Friday night, it was almost full. We got site 3 which is on higher ground, right by the toilets, almost no shade and in clear view of all the other sites. If you can get sites 7-10, 6 also pretty good, you’ll have a beautiful site next to the creek. There was a large group at sites 7 and 8 that hogged the creek most of the day, they seemed to have a great time. Nice hike across the way along the creek, but it’s short. Would recommend if you can get out early and get a premiere spot.
GuideWas lucky enough to get the last spot on the Saturday before Memorial Day. This is right by a climbing area, seemed like that’s who was mostly at the FCFS loop. Our spot didn’t have a lot of shade but it was spacious with beautiful views. Off-roads/trails near by with even better views. Loved this place.
ScoutLoved this camp ground. So much space in-between sites. So beautiful and clean. The dirt bikes were not to bad the only noise issue was a camp by us that yelled and partied loud until about 3am. No enjoying the stars when you listen to drunks for hours. Highly recommend this site just hopefully you dont get people like them.
TravelerLove this campground. Sharing a bunch of campsite photos. Sites 1-10 are designated for RVs and tents, and sites 11-23 are tent-only. The camp host was great and nice. We had one RV that ran a generator all night the first night, but the camp host spoke to them, and they did not do it the second night.
