These are paid sites, reservations are required. There is also a vehicle limit - Site 2 (the largest) has a limit of 20 vehicles. No water, pit toilets (bring your own toilet paper) Nice site; but the weekend we were there a group of over 100 mountain bikers had taken over most of the campground - despite the fact that sites 1, 2, & 3 were not rented by them they were squatting there. So, make sure you get there early and ensure you lock the gate behind you. Give the people in your party the combination.
