Lush and green!
This campground was really full when I drove through, so I didn't end up staying here. There are two sides. One side are sites along the river. The other side is along the edge of the mountain. I loved how these sites were very green and had lots of plants! There is a pit toilet in the canter. There is also a water spigot, but it said the water is being tested and it recommends boiling the water before it is used.
