Tsali is sort of legendary in the region for great mountain biking. The trails are gorgeous and well-maintained, and they roll through beaufitul country.

Stayed at the Tsali Recreation center with friends. Pros: Campsite were large enough for 2-3 4-person tents. Easier drive to rafting and boat rentals. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. Cons: No hook-ups for campers Bathrooms were not the cleaniest for the ladies. More
