Great for Quick Trip - Beware Gnats

Really beautiful drive up the mountain and then views from the campsite and surrounding areas. Toilets were clean, site was clean for the most part (a few bottle caps etc from previous campers that I picked up before leaving).

Lots of gnats! They swarm your face but then after you sit still for about a minute they leave you alone. Didn't encounter any mosquitos in early April. The little gnats seemed to crawl into my clothing and wiggle/possibly bite which was a nuisance but I didn't have any bug spray with me. My mistake that hopefully you won't repeat. 

I recommend doing the hike from All Trails: Coldbrook Campground Overlook Trail. Download it before you go. There is no cell service once you make your way up the mountain. Lots of great flora.

Great spot for a quick unplug from city life. Recommend it!
