Soapstone Campground — Hotel in Independence

Wonderful campground with a fun stream that ran right by our particular site. Plenty of tree at many of the camp sites so getting a site with shade should not be a worry. The bathrooms were on par for being pretty far into the wilderness and weren’t trashy (but still dropper toilets so you can only expect so much).
