High Times

The campground was nice and it was a fun drive in/out every time. Lots of elk! The bathroom did not have lights so if you didn’t go by dusk you’ll need a light with you. We stayed in the designated tent sites as far away from people as we could and as you can see in the photo, our neighboring site was close. Neighbors came and snored very loud, it was annoying. The 2 nights we had without neighbors were much better. A locked box is included at each site, as well as a fire pit. Outside wood is not allowed.. Good hiking trails were a little drive away in the mountains but so was everything. Hiking was beautiful everywhere we went. There’s so much ground to cover. We were always in the clouds, it was awesome to watch them float right through you. Cherokee was fun to explore lots of history and a great casino.
