Nice campground. Clean. Friendly host/ranger. Nice site. Access to site was challenging for 35 ft 5th wheel due to sharp turn with significant drop off on each side of the concrete driveway.

There are electric hook and water hook. In addition, there is a clean and warm restroom. This is my first time of car camping. My husband and I were satisfied with new experience.

Very well-maintained, spacious campsites. The lantern hook and utility table are very nice to have. The tent-only sites are spread out a bit so you don’t feel like you’re right on top of the group next to you. Will return in the spring!
