ScoutGorgeous Area!
We stayed in site 4 and we only saw one family but they were a few sites away. Part of that had to do with the rainy weather that week was. We were right by the river and it was kinda loud because of spring run off, but we got used to it and it was good! The Millcreek trailhead was super close and it was absolutely stunning! We made it up to the lower lake and thought we got there, but we actually didn't reach the real lake. Come to find out it was like another 1000 ft up the trail. 😅 Definitely one of my favorite camping trips!
GuideGreat campground
$5 a night. No service. 1 vault bathroom. About 6 camp spots. Not super packed. No water. A great place to camp with lots of trees. Picnic tables and fire pits. No many bugs.
The highlight of the area is the 2 mile hike to get to the lake above. Definitely worth it!
