Great Campground ... very close to highway.

We spent two night here on June 23 & 24 of 2021.   We had a great time.  It got c o l d at night (went down to 38 the first night!)  so that was ... a thing.    However, we still had a wonderful time. 

Pros

  • Great Camp Store (where you check in) is well stocked and staffed with very kind / helpful staff. 

  • Sites are well maintained with very large picnic table and fire ring.

  • Bathroom and showers were clean and well maintained (water pressure in shower is strong and wonderful)

  • Sinks for dishwashing were also clean and well maintained

  • Excellent access to incredible hiking trails of all levels / experience. 

Cons

  • The size and scale of the sites varies greatly.  We (site 42) camped with friends and they were in the site next door (41) and their site was at least double the size of ours if not more. 
  • As you will see in other reviews:  the highway noise is real and late at night is mostly 18 wheel trucks...which are ...loud. 
  • Our site was very not level (it was technically an RV site and so that may be a factor?) but it's was as if we were camping on a gentle ramp.
