When we arrived at our campsite number 28, there were two cars parked on our site. Found out they belonged to the campers on site 29. There were four adults and seven kids and bikes and toys strewn all over their site. They did kindly remove their cars for us. The next day we left for the day to go explore the area, when we returned. Their two cars were again parked on our site. And again they kindly removed them. It appeared they actually had 4 cars plus their RV. The sites at the campground were very close and crowded. There were lots of kids. If you prefer peace and quiet and a bit of seclusion, I would not recommend this campground.

Well kept grounds, friendly and attentive hosts. Cell reception was spotty but stabilized with a booster. Bathhouse and Sink Basin were functional and wrll kept.

We had a very nice stay in this campground the week before Labor Day. It started filling up as we were leaving but there was only a handful of campers there during our stay. The bathrooms were the cleanest we have found in our travels. The only negative is that the water faucet could not be hooked up. But this was a minor inconvenience.

Nice campground. Decent sized spaces, level spots, well-kept bathrooms. The area has wonderful trails but none really accessible from campground without driving or a long road walk.

Nice, clean and quiet campground with woods all around. The bathhouse was clean and the showers had plenty of warm water.

Super clean all over. RR super clean. Park Ranger Program.... was OUTSTANDING. Please continue those.

I rode the train, took the coalmine tour and walked around the town. I recommend this activity. I hiked the BH trail. Outstanding. It was a overall great experience.
