As this hillside view of the campground shows, it is located in a generally open area.

Date of visit: Nov 2011

We arrived here on the first of November and had the place all to ourselves.  Site 9 was about as level a site as we could find.

Sites 7 and 8 share the large parking site - great if you're with some friends..

Site 6 is one of five pull-through sites.

Here are sites 4,3 and 2.  Site 4 is really suitable only for tenting - the parking area is very small and tilted.

Site 11 is a large, private pull-through site.  Actually, though, with the exception of sites 7 and 8, sites are spaced quite a ways from each other.

There are two "modern" vault toilets, one at each end of the camp loop.
