Beautiful camping spot! Waterfall steps away from the firepit. Saw salamanders, fishes, a watersnake, and crayfishes. Reserve the creekside campsite, you wont regret it. 10/10 recommend

The creekside location is great! Short walk from the parking spot, fairly private from the other two sites, and very peaceful. The fire pit, picnic table and bench, shade/rain tarp, grill grate, and tongs were nice bonuses. Good spot for our tent, shade structure, and trees for a laundry line. Biggest downside is the biting flies (late July), but that's just part of camping. Definitely head upstream to the swimming hole and sun deck!

This is a wonderful campsite! Has the basics with water and outhouse but truly exceptional view with the creek. If you screenshot directions you will have no problem navigating in.

Great spot. It's near a road but the creek is so loud you can't really tell from the site. The site was spacious and mostly flat, and truly right on the water. Parking is a bit far from the site, but the host offered a wheelbarrow to help move our equipment. The nearby watering hole was very cool. The host was very clear and upfront with everything we needed to make our stay go smoothly. Thanks, Keith!
