Great campsite, but primitive. Arguably one of the most beautiful and rugged areas of the state. And because of the long drive down a bumpy road you wont find the masses here and I dont recommend travel trailers. The scenery is everywhere with many trails to hike, and great swimming holes. Check out Falling Waterfall which you will probably pass on falling waterfall road. Campsites are very clean and the water is suppose to be some of the purest in the state. Beware of bears, you will be in a very wild but beautiful area. And always remember, pack out what you pack in!
