One of the best experiences I've had camping. The recreation area is breathtakingly beautiful as a whole, with a trail circling the top of the mountain and several trailheads both within the recreation area and off the roads nearby.

Check-in is simple, with a quick pop into the General Store, where the employees are helpful, friendly, and passionate about their work. Honestly, the thought of being so far away from major roads was very nerve-wracking, so just the ability to buy regular items like ice cream or first aid supplies made me feel a lot safer. The store staff/recreation area caretakers were knowledgeable about the area, helping me discern potential wildlife hazards and giving pointers for hiking the area.

The campsite itself was stunning. Sites 5 and up are closer to the edge of the mountain, and you are treated to a better view in my opinion. The site was spacious, free from biting insects, and laid out with typical accommodations. Sites were spaced enough to guarantee privacy, and the whole time I was there, I rarely heard a peep from other campers.

This campground was phenomenal, and I'd recommend it for anyone that wants to be immersed in nature but is maybe a little too scared to backpack and primitive camp.
