This place is incredible! Tall trees and huge boulders. Stunning location. Close to the action but tucked away.
Campsite 2 had a couple sandy clearings that could easily fit both an RV and tent.
Toilets were not great, but we didn’t care. Bring exact change if you’re paying on site.

The campground owner died just before we arrived. The locals figured out that there was no one there to manage it and so between the scketchy homeless squaters roaming around and the midnight arrivals with giant trucks with loud pipes we barely got any sleep. We had to break down camp every time we left because we were affraid for our stuffs saftey with the homeless squaters

Bathrooms are very clean, for the most part the ohv'ers are respectful of the campers, quite a pleasant place

Great camping area. Close to town, Walmart, etc.
If you’re looking for deep wilderness camping this is not the place. But it’s a nice campground that is very well maintained.
