I love this campground. The facilities were good. There are creeks running between campsites. There is enough space to be comfortable. The trailhead to the falls is at the campground. The only drawback to this place is the proximity to the roadway. All in all, I highly recommend this one.

This was a very nice campground. We found a site right next to a small creek so we got to hear the sound of the water as we layed in our tent. There was a bathroom and an outdoor shower. It is a very wooded area and pretty secluded, although it is right next to a main road so the big trucks going by were loud.

Camped 2007. Nice quiet place. Have to be careful of entrance especially if you are towing or have a motorhome. Most motorhomes would not be able to navigate the area so pop-ups and tents are the norm here. Be careful of bears so food storage procedures are a must. Great place to have solitude.
