Ideal spot!

This was my first solo camping experience - I went up on a Thursday and the area was empty. It was super clean and the spots were large. I wish I would have picked a different spot as I was right next to the bathroom but it was fine. Plenty of fire wood around the collect with access to trials and the river.

Love it

Small, rustic, remote, clean and quiet. Large and level campsites that are well spaced. Although only one of the sites has a river view this campground Ideal for trout anglers. There's a access point to Gamble Creek between sites 171 and 173. I got my 20' trailer back there no problem.

Nice and Rustic

Nice campground deep within the park. There are 2 loops in this campground with good sized sites that are separated by trees. The vault toilets do need some attention.
