First Time

The campground was very nice. Our dogs were very welcomed although they do want you to keep them leashed. The creek ran right behind our campsite so you could go enjoy it about 10’ away. There was plenty of shade, a picnic table, and a fire pit. they have firewood for sale for $6 a bundle. There was a restroom at the base where you park your cars. We did see a baby rattlesnake that I helped relocate off the main trail so be aware that they are out there this year. Overall I would recommend this site to anyone and I personally will be returning!!
