Private Sites with the Sound of a Running Creek Nearby

Beautiful campground amid the trees, with a lovely stream flowing through. 

Our site was a great spot for two 2+ tents. It had a picnic table and fire pit. We were right near the pit toilets, but not so close that we got the smell.

No bear issue here. Lock your stuff in your car and it'll be fine. Bigger issue is with little critters who try to steal food. After dark, in flip flops, I actually had a tiny mouse run over my foot. (Sorry for screaming, fellow campers!) The mice are tiny and quick. They're only about an inch long. So keep your food stored if you're not around it.

Our site was just a few steps down a trail from a stream. It was nice to hear that stream... until the wind kicked up. This is no fault of the campground, but my camping buddy and I didn't get much sleep, with 22 mph sustained winds with 40 mph gusts. We thought the trees around our site and how it was situated a little down a hill from where we were parked would add some protection. No such luck. But again, not the campground's fault. It's a lovely campground.

The camp hosts were also super nice. If you have questions, they are set up in the first site you come to when you come into the campground.
