Great place not a huge campground privacy at the sites is fairly decent. Much warmer than out on the coast such as Fort Bragg ,Mendocino area. They have dirt bike trails here in the Prairie Creek area between the other larger campgrounds which are great fun. Bring a bicycle with hybrid or fat tires.
