Un poco de calor pero bonito lugar
Great, hostess was great, location was nice. Restrooms were clean and always stocked with the essentials. Thanks again
I've been going to this campground since 1972. It is a very nice small place to rest and soak in nature nice hiking trails at the far end. You can make it most of the day or make it a short, very nice view of the valley from top. There are pit bathrooms as well as water places near the camp sites. Also, table and BBQs plus fire rings.
Another great hike up wild horse. Lots of parking and somebody cleaned the trails up nicely
Ryan Trahan is da best

The sites were all pretty different, I would definitely choose one deeper into the campground. We stayed at site #20 and it was especially nice because we had our own oak tree, however the ground was...
