Love this campsite. We try and go a few times a year. Love the layout of the campsites, spaced out and not so close together and it's pretty quiet after 10pm. Overall excellent experience and will continue to go annually.

One of the best camp lots in the campsite. You get a very nice view of the eastern night sky (West is covered by trees). Plenty of flat space for tents surrounded by trees. We also saw lots of woodpeckers and blue jays around which was a nice surprise. However, we visited mid August and there mustve been yellow jacket nest nearby because they were eeeeeverywhere. A friend of mine got stung by one. Definitely stay away from this campsite if you are allergic to them.

Beautiful campground with the Observatory hike trail nearby. Store close by to buy things if needed as well.

Great location, bring plenty of bug spray. Hiking the trails may result with flies being digested.

Lots of big trees, trailhead to the observatory from the campground, sites are well maintained.
