Great campground, dangerous road to it
Awesome place to camp but the narrow road in is a white knuckle challenge. A busy trailhead brings close to 100 cars aday there especially on the weekends. If towing a camper,these hikers tend to fly down the road literally,be Careful, if you have a meet it can get Ugly. Sad, but this narrow road is dangerous and needs addressed at this VERY popular place. Not nearly enough camping in this area,hence the large crowd going there.
Quiet
Nicely spaced sites, vault toilets, a little over grown but not bad, metal picnic table, fire ring, bear-proof storage, gravel driveway and road.
Cost $20 a night for a basic site.
-basic bathrooms -beautiful scenery -dogs allowed on leesh -great trail nearby -Roads are easy for any vehicle
