Great in the off season too

Bartender was perplexed when I asked to (car) camp in December but was very friendly and let me do my thing even in their off season! Sooo much cheaper than SR and actually much close to the hiking trails.

Close to parks

Close to local parks. Walking distance to bar. Great for when the other grounds are filled. Pics from Matthiessen
