Three stars for the beautiful setting in the National Forest. No hookups, but potable water in spigots.

Three stars for the beautiful setting in the National Forest. No hookups, but potable water in spigots. The sites were large and many of them had shelters over the picnic tables, which was nice since it rained both evenings we were there. The main con was the noise. Altho there is a sign for no ATVs in the campground, this rule is not enforced. Quiet hours are also not enforced with generators running past midnight near our site. It's a shame because this is a really beautiful location.

We stayed here over Father’s Day weekend. Overall it was ok. We got spot 28 which backs up to the spring that runs through the campground so that was the highlight for the kids. No internet access and a long dusty road to get there. The hosts that manage the campground are pretty anal, barking at you if you accidentally get turned around, etc. Not the most pleasant friendly people to deal with. We also had one of our neighbors come over and turn off our generators during daytime hours. We were trying to cool down our RV while we went out for a hike. When we got back and saw they were off, to their credit they actually came over and fessed up, telling us that they had turned them off because it’s “extremely rude to leave your generators running while you’re gone.” 🤦🏼♀️ Overall it’s a beautiful spot and our kids enjoyed it, but if you’re looking to escape rude people and busybody neighbors look elsewhere.

“Conifer setting with a variety of camp units; road into site is single lane so be careful of on-coming traffic. Host at site during peak season.”

Nice campground with surrounding trail opportunities. No hook-ups, but potable water, tables, fire rings and some sites have covered awnings for shade. ATV travel within the campground is allowed to come and go, but riding around within the campground loops is discouraged due to noise and dust. A large group area is also available ... more
Nice campground with surrounding trail opportunities. No hook-ups, but potable water, tables, fire rings and some sites have covered awnings for shade. ATV travel within the campground is allowed to come and go, but riding around within the campground loops is discouraged due to noise and dust. A large group area is also available and a nearby cabin rental. Cell phone service down the road at the cattle-guard/hill in front of the rental cabin.
DKT would stay here again
