While I would probably skip Macedonia on the weekends in summer since it looks like it could get packed, a little more off season and during the week it was great. Hardly anyone around, we had a site right next to the stream. The loop hike over the mountains was good, at times more intermediate than beginner and I wouldn't try to go it with younger kids. We did the east side one afternoon and the west the next. The west side the trails aren't marked as well and the map at the ranger's station is off a bit (they don't give out maps, take a picture with your phone). Overall a good trip.
