This is a beautiful and extremely well maintained camping experience. All of the sites are outstanding and very easy to access. It couldn’t be any better and truly exceeded our expectations. Donna the camp host was wonderful and made us feel welcome and very comfortable with our stay. We will certainly be back again !

It was a great experience I went with my in laws for the first time and they enjoyed it and we are planning to go again next year at least try to go once a year but it was amazing it rained on us but we did go wile monsoon season is going on. But very great experience we had and the host that were their were very helpful, yes restrooms were a lot of bugs but we are in the forest so I did expect that. Overall great and wonderful experience.

July 2022. Quiet, with sites far enough apart that you're not too close to your neighbors. Restrooms are lit at night and clean. The hosts are great! The only thing I would suggest is more comfortable tables. They are too skinny, so there's not enough room on top and the benches are uncomfortable. I like to sit at the table a lot, but my too-big camp chair was more comfortable. All of the campsites have these same new tables, unfortunately.

Camp hosts are some of the best. Park is immaculate and pit toilets cleanest I've ever seen. Roomy sites with asphalt pads and fairly level. Love to camp here.

One of the cleanest and best-run campgrounds we have been to over many years. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, did a great job- if only they could all be this good!
