Well maintained with easy access to hiking routes

This campground was a wonderful place to spend a night or two. Well maintained heated bathrooms, the staff we had the opportunity to meet were quite friendly, and for hiking the river loop (would definitely suggest purely for the view) was just a few minute walk from our campground.

There are only two negatives that I can see:

  1. When purchasing wood, be aware that it may be a bit damp. Being that it was March when we visited, this likely impacted the moisture inside the shed they held the firewood.
  2. This one is subjective as it comes with an upside. Some of the campsites can be a bit close to one another even if they aren’t the designated group sites. This, however, came as quite a helpful part of our visit as we, relatively new campers, were assisted by a wonderful group of people in the next site over when we struggled to light our fire or kindling. (view negative 1)

In summary: We would strongly suggest this site to any traveler with wonderful views, and consider sourcing dry firewood from a vendor in the wetter months!
