"amazing camping and forest area. Only reason for lack of a star is the reservation system is tricky. Look online first before you self-register or you could register for a spot already taken. They don't reserve online 3 days in advance. So if the site is open the next 3 days you should be good to self-register there at the barn. Also, make sure you go to the barn first. You are not going to want to make a lot of trips around the campground (forest) road. It is a long winding road that takes forever to drive through. Insanely beautiful camping though. You can barely hear any of the other campsites. Make sure to get a site with a lean-to. I was at n-7 which doesn't have any shelter and the trees are so tall a fallen branch would definitely do some damage if not kill a person. Go and enjoy this beautiful area!"
"Awesome quiet and I do mean quiet maybe a bird every now and then but not much else I've seen considering the camping roads run along the top of the bluffs."
"It was a nice quiet park yesterday. They do have camping and a lot of hiking trails."
"I drive through here almost twice a week for relaxation and reflection. Please keep the forest clean (please put your beer cans and bottles in the trash like the civilized, responsible humans, we are, and CLEAN UP THE CAMPSITE)."
"Lots of interesting uphill trails. Just a beautiful place for a hike or family time great spots for a a picnic or there's grills and playground equipment. Pet friendly area so bring your dog we did everyone had a great time."
