Gorgeous

Arrived late in the afternoon - hiked the Lost Mine Trail. Returned to our campsite and neighbors had set up their tent in our space right by our covered picnic table. As we have a rooftop tent it was not a problem but I echo that the campsites are very close to eachother and everyone should go into this campground knowing that their own campsite may not be level and your neighbors may be goofs :) - but it is so beautiful that it is totally worth it. Site 18 was fairly level and while near the entrance, has gorgeous views (and we barely noticed that we were close to the front). Camp hosts were so knowledgeable and friendly.

Beware if you are visiting this month - we could not hike the Santa Elena Canyon bc of rains - the river was waaay to high. Also the Old Maverick Road was great w a 4WD but tricky at times.
