Very quiet, on the route
We got the last spot right next to the entrance. Fire pit, picnic table, no-flush toilets close, no water to wash your hands. $22 for the night. No mobile connection at all, no Wi-Fi.

Shaded Campground Next to Creek
We loved it here! Very quiet and lots of trees for shade. It looked like most of the sites were creek-front, ours was. We set up our hammocks and enjoyed the cool breeze and sound. Bathrooms were clean and had hand sanitizer and a trash can.

Small but beautiful campground
We pulled in to get out of the snow storm and get an early dinner. Beautiful campground but very small, only 9 sites. The first site was the only one open and listed as a double. Other than two picnic tables, not sure what makes it a double. Not much room for two vehicles and certainly not multiple tent sites. But it served it’s purpose for us. There is a little road noise from the main road, but hard to hear over the rushing creek just behind the site. Amazing well water is worth the effort to hand pump.
