The campground is small, but very clean. The biggest problem, which there is nothing they can do about, were the incessant, awful flies and mosquitoes. We hiked to the top of Marion Mountain, and I was nonstop waving flies away. If you go there, bring a mosquito net for your face/head, and lots of DEET bug spray. The flies and mosquitoes were immune to my Family Off spray. In fact, we called it honey after a while because it seems that they were drawn to it! Otherwise, the campground was quiet (Sun-Wed). Pit toilet only. We brought a camper van. Water at just a few sites. We were in space 22. No water there. This place is definitely rent or small camper van-type. No class A or B.

Good space between camp sites, with a few that are close together as a good choice for groups (such as the inside-the-loop sites). The larger bathroom was cleaner and more odor free than the smaller one in our loop, but as someone who has remote camped, vault toilet camped, etc, the upper was acceptable - it's all about expectations. I'm told that campground opened later in the season than usual due to COVID so bathrooms are in better shape now than they normally would be by this time in the season. Several sites are first-come, first-served. Marion Mountain trail runs past this campground, but it is a severe slope, since the campground is on the side of a mountain, there aren't really any easy/moderate trails right out of the campground. We were fortunate and had water on all week, but there are many warnings that it may not be available. Water spigots are interior so you can't really avoid walking by/through people who are camping when the interior sites are full. We were there mid-week and we did not experience any partiers, just families, hikers, and rock climbers. I would not recommend camping here with a trailer, at least not on the upper loop. We watched one truck+small trailer (17 foot?) bend a rim + blow a tire hitting a rock on a tight corner, and then another travel trailer + camping trailer spend an hour jockeying around, in/out & circling around the lower loop, trying to get into their space. If you're bringing a trailer, my advice is stick to the lower loop. Bring your mosquito repellant.
