We loved our time camping here! It was peaceful, the view was gorgeous, and it was everything we needed for a weekend getaway. Steve was very helpful and responsive to questions I had when checking in. We will definitely be back.

Perfect QUIET getaway!
Awesome location. SO QUIET! Don’t let the dirt road up there intimidate you - I made it in a FWD Toyota Sienna minivan. The site is very secluded, perfect for some self reflection. There are 2 fire pits and plenty of shade. The trees give you a cozy secluded feeling and the one view out the front is really nice.

My siblings and I just got back from our trip and we had the absolute best time!!! The campsite is very simple but provides all the essentials, and is an incredible view that provides a lot of privacy. We had no issues getting into the site, and were just so happy with the experience overall. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the mood for a peaceful mountain getaway!
