This campground's central location and scenic setting make it a very popular destination. It offers 13 non-electric tent sites, however the pads are big enough to accommodate camper trailers, you will just need to bring a generator. Amenities include pit toilets, solar powered well drinking water, a nature trail, and a playground. *Generators that are NOT the "quiet models" will need to be turned off after 10PM because the noise they omit is obnoxious and disruptive to your neighboring campers. They can be turned back on after 6AM.

Individual sites vary. Confirm on Recreation.gov or with the managing office.
