Small and quiet

The site is nice. Only water source is the creek which is not easy to access. Note, it isn't really difficult, either. Pit toilet was clean and well supplied. A lot of biting flies when I was there. In 4 nights I had two other campers on two different nights. Forest Service was checking campground almost daily.
