Loved the easy access to hiking

Firstly- don’t reserve a spot in loop 1 if you have a dog. It was easy enough to change but now we know to aim for loop 2 or 3 (and this will be one to return to). 

There is plenty of greenery between sites giving privacy. We could hear children playing but only saw them when they rode their bikes around the loop. There is a central shower building with vault toilets in the camping loops. Our site 158 had lots of shade but some have more sun. 

We didn’t get Verizon service in camp but occasionally found 1 or 2 bars of weak signal while hiking. We asked the ranger about hiking and she gave us a map to a trail system that connects to this campground between the group sites and loop 3. We enjoyed a 4 mile hike from camp to the observation trail. While the view was mostly hidden it was still a nice hike. The trail is wide which meant my doggo hiked by my side. We both enjoyed it. 

There is a playground too but the diverse hiking and woodsy sites make this one to return to.
