Great location and we had FHU. The bathroom/shower were clean and well maintained. The camp host was friendly and helpful. Trash dumpsters are located outside of the front gate. The gate requires a password and changes at noon on Sunday. We will stay again.

Beautiful campground with paved level sites, full hookups and ATT cell phone service. We Love the email the host sends on the day of arriving. Campground is well kept and the hosts are active in the campground and appear available to help if needed.

We had a wonderful shady site. The grounds were mowed and immaculate. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Only negative was lack of open restroom on Firefly loop. We did not need it but we felt sorry for a family of renters in site next to us who had to jump in car and drive to other loop every time they needed to use the restroom. Wonderful campground otherwise.
