Site SizeCampsite sizes vary, with some noted to be large and semi-private. Site #3, for example, was praised for spaciousness and a good setup for tents.

PrivacyThe campground offers a more secluded experience due to its small size (5-6 campsites per loop). However, this also increases encounters with bears, according to user reviews.

Best CampsitesSite #3 gets consistent praise for spaciousness, shade, and proximity to the creek. Sites 1-6 sit on one side of the bridge, while sites 7 and up occupy the other section. The small loop size means most sites feel fairly secluded, though bear encounters are more frequent because of it.
