    Gorgeous spot but very small and does not have a lot of sites so you would need to be early.

    Down a narrow gravel road so be careful as on the way back I had to stop because a crane was lifting a camper up from where it has run off the road and fallen down a gully. Positive is that the site is close to Paradise which is given that name for a reason.
