Great camping. Great hiking trails. Very courteous staff and host. Enjoyable scenery all around. Only reason for 4 stars is the bathrooms were a bit gross. 1 of them being locked, meaning almost always having to wait. If you go here, make sure to note there are no showers. We brought a Ozark trail two room shower tent with a portable shower and portable toilet so wasn't as inconvenient for us. Also, lots of ants all over. But hey, that's camping :)

Nice surroundings and trails from here. Unfortunately, the campground bathrooms weren't cleaned and the running water wasn't working properly. Would've been better if they had pit toilets and said to pack in your own water.

Great secluded spot, not many trees on sites but excellent camp hosts. There are many horse, hiking, and ATV trails nearby.

Good place to relax, we were there for 4 days before Thanksgiving and there weren't  any crowds. Not too many trees but there are flush toilets available and every campsite has a fire pit. Near by trails for dirt road vehicles.

Good: The mountain landscape, flush toilets (not too grimy), drinking water, hiking trails

BAD: Experience with camp host Bob! He pointed us twice in the wrong direction to set up our tent- the first time he came around AFTER we set up and said that area's reserved (ok we should have known, it had a grill and it's own parking spot). The second time, I asked him where was NOT reserved, and he pointed downhill to a patch of grass without amenities, so we walked down there and set up, he passed by and it seemed fine. 

The next morning, I went to ask him if we could use a grill to boil water and he said we were lucky not to have gotten a fee overnight- WHAT? He told us the area we camped in was for day use only, and if the ranger had seen, we'd have gotten a ticket... So he chose not to tell us that until the next day? So I asked him where did he want us to go, and he SHRUGGED. I explained that we had gotten two day passes, and he said oh okay, that's fine then... 

Except that 15 minutes later he came by and yelled "You people are illegally camping, I won't tell you again!"- so I have no idea what his problem was, and why he couldn't be clear with us as to where to go/what he wanted from us. He was so abrupt and talking with him was so frustrating we left immediately rather than struggle to get any kind of help!

Ensure you have a reservation so you don't have to deal with Bob!
