Great camping May 1st

We arrived knowing rain and snow was in the forecast. It was a beautiful overcast evening when we arrived. What we didn’t expect was no map or directions on how to find our site. The visitor center was closed so there was no place to check in although reservations are needed starting May 1st. We went to the camp store for directions. We opted for no hookups since our 33’ 5th wheel is set up for boondocking. It still cost $30 a night since we are from out of state. Plus an $8 reservation fee. A bit pricey but we truly enjoyed our visit. Around 4am the heavy winds woke us. Our site GP148 sat on top of a hill overlooking two other campsites and the lake. It rocked enough that we couldn’t sleep but the rig handled it well. The weather calmed down and we went on a hike toward Hidden Falls before the rain arrived. The trails are well marked and very nice. We went on a drive for lunch and 10 miles away is the Bunkhouse bar and grille. We happened to be there on a Sunday when local pickers come to play live music. It was very entertaining and highly recommended. When we woke on Monday the snow had arrived. It took us a little longer to break down to leave but the roads were still good. Verizon cell service throughout the stay was spotty. Even with a couple hiccups this was a fantastic stay.
