Friendly staff you can park your car anywhere in the park if your backpacking or hiking Okay the camp grounds keeper or ranger whatever lady said you know if we park inside we pay the 20 bucks that you know get a little more coverage because they see who comes in and out their trailer was there. There's a discount if you have like a frequent flyer card or something I don't know. We have refilled our water bottles there and was pretty clean and quiet when we were there but imagine it gets filled when the time of the year or the weekends right.

First come first serve for every site. Multiple bathhouses in excellent condition and well maintained. Campsites aren’t private and are out in the open, but great experience nonetheless. Groundskeepers are so friendly! Great trails for off-roading!!

Found ourselves down a four wheeler trail and got stuck. Oops. But the area is beautiful and plenty of 4x4 trails to have fun on. But if the trucks small enough and you miss the marker you could ended up like us. Made it about 1000ft from the trailhead when we got stuck.
