Great Walk In Camp Sites

Was lucky enough to find an open camp site when we went up on a Thursday night. The camp ground tends to fill up on the weekends, so if you are planning a trip probably worthwhile to reserve a spot. We found a walk in site that was about 20 yards back from the parking, spot 35. There was ample room for our tent and two hammocks.

There are a lot of camp sites and a lot of people in tents which is refreshing. There are plenty of comfort stations throughout the camp. There are lots of bears in the area so the rangers go around to remind people to keep food secure in car or in designated storage boxes. Showers cost $1.75 for 5.25 minutes, as of August 2018.

The rangers have lots of programs and there are plenty of hiking trails with varying distances and difficulties. Dogs were allowed in camp sites but some of the more popular hiking trails don't allow dogs. Overall, we really enjoyed camping here and would return in a heartbeat.
