What a great campground. First off, it has some of the best campsites - wooded and with some level of privacy - that I’ve experienced in awhile. Kids loved the playground and there were a lot of other kids to make friends with. Also we enjoyed Cascades Trail on site. Just a very peaceful and well maintained campground!
Cons - first, the bathrooms. For how many sites there are, there just aren’t enough. The bathroom in our loop D was full always, which is hard when camping. And it’ll be cleaned at very inconvenient times, like 8-9:00am. Second, the lake. I had the feeling it was a large lake to swim and kayak in. It’s more of a glorified pond and we had no interest in swimming in it. Bummer bc we brought a lot of water stuff. Just good to know for next time!
Go to Altapass Orchard down the road. Best apple pie ever. Linville winery is also a great stop.
Best weekend ever. This is a really old school campsite - can’t book sites online, pancake breakfasts, ice cream socials, and more. The restrooms are immaculate and obviously cleaned frequently. Much better than standard state campground facilities. We camped with three young children and they had the best time. Only semi complaint is they say the pool is heated but it is very cold. So I wouldn’t count on spending much time doing that.
