Very lovely camp site..

This is the place to go if you want solitude. Only one other person in the campground. Clean pit toilet with no odors. Bring everything you need because there's no running water. Pack out your trash because there's no garbage cans either. The creek was the loudest thing in the area.

Extremely scenic. I imagined there were fairies in the stream next to where we pitched our tent. A lovely spot next to a stream with lots of trees and shade. Campsites were all clean and came with picnic tables. Rustic. No water so bring your own. Pit toilets.
