Chisholm-great spot!
We stayed 2 nights here, and the sites are very spacious, with lots of room between you and your neighbor. Lots of room for tents and hammocks! Right next to a small creek where kids can build a dam, hunt for rocks, or wade. This site is about a 2 minute walk to the Hyalite Resevoir, where it's fun to play in the water as well. Picnic tables, fire pit, clean facilities.
