Update: was contacted by supervisor and they are gonna process a refund. I have changed the one star to five stars. I really appreciate their time and assistance in this matter. Have heard nothing but good things about area. Made reservations before fire got way to close...requested refund minus late cancellation fee...was told by recreation.gov that I would receive a refund less that fee...then the campground facilities said I couldn't get a refund at all. Don't understand why...when I called to ask about fire...gentleman on phone was discouraging and stated...you know it's really smoky up here. I am just very disappointed. I don't think my request was unreasonable. Plus they are under an evac warning and if we had to leave in a hurry I would lose all my camping gear that I have spent years acquiring. Does not make sense.

Great campground, in a beautiful location, been camping here for years…but definitely not peaceful anymore! Seems everyone has a generator now, and will run them 4-5 hours at a time, in the mornings and late afternoon. All you hear is engine noise! We camped next to two guys in an older RV, and their onboard gen blasted right into our camp multiple times a day, so we had to keep our trailer closed up and was so loud it would echo throughout the campground. And dog barking! Everyone has dogs and just lets the bark excessively, with zero consideration for others. And our camp host did nothing. I’d suggest setting generator hours between 11 and 1pm ONLY for people to charge their batteries and/or precook their dinner. And then have a strict excessive no-barking policy, if they can’t control their dog barking, more than 2 complaints, would be forced to leave.

We do not camp here but mainly drive up to swim and fish for the afternoon. There are multiple swim holes and fish are stocked through early summer. You can enjoy a picnic here or hike a ways to find your own secluded hole. Keep in mind this place is popular in summer but if you arrive early you have a pick of spots. The fishing can be fair to incredible depending on the time of year. I have caught some rather large brook trout in here as well as brown trout and rainbow trout are the main stay. I suggest bringing lifejackets because some holes are rather deep.

I visited pre Memorial Day weekend and the campground was wide open. The campground is well maintained with flush toilets and water in the restrooms. Campsites were distributed in a way where you are not on top of each other. Great experience.
