It is first come first serve, however check out is at noon so arrive around 11:30 to snag a site when people are packing up to go home. There are several hiking trails in this area including two near the campground, Thunder Creek Trail and Thunder Knob trail.

Camped here for my first night in NCNP and was impressed with flush toilets and clean restrooms overall. The campsite is actually on both sides of the 20 and one side is much smaller with shorter drives so makes for less RV's if you like tenting.
