Amazing location! The sound of the rushing waterfall is mesmerizing and melts away stress. The location is so amazing it counteracts some of the downsides of the campground. As it is newly opened these may just be growing pains. Please note there is no room for large tents. We have a tiny 2 person Marmot and were still unable to find a flat setup location.
