Site 4 is delightfully tucked away at the end of the campground and right across from the toilets. It has a flat spot for maybe a 4-man tent. We were able to fit two vehicles and our large tent in the driveway and found a shady spot to hang the hammock. This campsite stays shaded most of the day. There are trails leading out of this site down to the creek and up the hill, leading to other trails. It's a perfect place for kids to explore. The pit toilets are relatively clean and had plenty of toilet paper, despite having plenty of people in the campground.

There is no garbage service and the water spigots are not functioning. Still, the campground is reservable and inexpensive. We would stay here again.
