We loved this campground ! The park ranger was so helpful getting us into our spot. It was quiet and a nice loop to walk!

No sun, no reception, no go.... I was gonna stay here but nobody was there, felt creepy alone. Sites were shaded and absolutely 0 reception for ATT and Verizon both.

Good place to sleep. Was disappointed when I opened the "bear box" and found there were no bears inside. Well maybe next time. Quiet and peaceful midweek October. It was a nice night in the tent.

One night stopover on drive down the Parkway. Adequate campground and facilities. Trail at the end of abandoned restaurant parking lot was difficult to locate then crossed the creek with no bridge so had to go around into tent sites to find …

Service was spotty but available at the campground for all in our group Wich includes all major carriers. There is actually a pay phone (yes, they still exist!!) At one of the shower houses and emergency phone at ranger station.

About 30-40min up 130 if you start at Sheets in Mad Hts. Depending on if you get behind a slow driver or a tractor trailer.
