Be prepared to tuck your food away and bring ample protection from the insects. You are responsible for your own safety and are camping here at you own risk.

It's an ok campground. The best part of the campground are the host. There are recycling toilets. Drinkable water. But the forest service doesn't do much here. The lower water spigot is STILL missing the top plug, so when you go to get water is blows out of 2 holes instead of one. Get ready to get wet. Site 16 has the largest ant hill I've ever seen. If you stay there you will get accosted by them. There are also bookoos of tent caterpillars in the oak trees directly over where you park. When you go to reserve, there are rarely openings of any length. But when you arrive, those supposedly reserved sites are empty. You need to occupy from first night. And get ready for it to sound like your in a dog park. RUDE thoughtless dog owners!

Beautiful campground. Clean. Quiet. Spacious sites far apart. Great fire ring. High marks for composting toilets! Zero odor. (Do be aware of bees and wasps at the fresh water fill station though.)
