Positively glorious views from so many spots, but particularly
our
beautiful room

Clean campsite, clean bathrooms and beautiful grounds. It is about double the price of a state campground though and might have been nice to throw in some firewood for folks

It is a challenge to get camping gear into the
sites (recommend backpacking gear). We had people walking through our site to get to theirs. We were surrounded by partying college students. Not relaxing.

No coffee in the rooms, only in the store, and they tried to charge us $3.00 for a small cup. We went south two miles and found a very nice, reasonably priced, friendly place for our needs.
