Gorgeous campground in the pines

We had the whole campground to ourselves for most of our trip. The bathrooms were spotless and had paper. Some spot were tent sized and some could accommodate a trailer. The road loops with the lower side of the loop next to the creek. The road to get up was washboarded but still camper safe
