The site is very nice but there were s few problems. The first night some parked right on our camping spot at 3am in the morning. I was obviously spooked so I asked if they were lost and they told us they live in the tiny house bellow us. Not fun. Also the last night the men’s room didn’t have any toilet paper so I had be a potential creep and get some from the girls bathroom. Still recommend due to location, just my experience.
very nice!!! so beautiful and quiet. Hard to find at first but after you do it’s wonderful
I had originally booked site 1 to be closer to the restroom, but was told that someone that was currently staying there extended their stay. Jing was very prompt & kind to offer us other campsites within the area. We ended staying at Site 3 instead, which actually worked out much better in my honest opinion. It was literally right next to the hiking trail that my buddies went on. However site 3 was advertised as (Near Restroom) but it really isn't. It's a pretty long walk up and down a hill to get it. Luckily we paid for the extra car, which ended up being our vehicle to drive to the restroom.…
Beautiful trees surround the group site’s flat ground. But each individual campsite looked pristine, the most south ones especially. Plenty of picnic tables, bathrooms suitable, water food. There’s also 15 min hike straight down to a creek. Gorgeous spot!
Clean space, a bit tricky to find your spot if you arrive at night
