I stayed for 4 nights, the campground was small which I love, about half full during the week. Super clean, trails right behind campground. I have verizon and was able to stream at night. Daytime temps in mid sept mid 80s in the day and low 60s at night…perfect. The bathrooms: super clean composting vault type..no smell…pretty nice. Sites are well spaced so your night crazy close to your neighbors

Nice campground. We stayed in 17 as it was flat. Wasn’t obvious there is a pathway through the campsite to the toilets.

This was a nice, clean campground. Bathrooms were also clean and had 2 different ones throughout the campground. I also appreciated the pump they had for fresh water. I will say the sites were way too close together for my liking, felt more like a commune than an independent camping situation. Also, there was someone in my assigned spot when I went, so luckily the host was responsive and able to tell them to leave after they returned (they were gone for an hour when we got there, so we just had to sit around and wait for them to return). There were definitely more private lots, but if you were in the middle (I was in 10), there was a lot more activity and proximity to others. Ultimately I would go back here, but probably choose a less busy weekend and choose one of the outer lots.

Awesome stay! The hostess was kind and helpful.She came right out to help me find my spot (after normal hours) Her husband was just as kind and helpful. He gave me tips on the best way to get parked. Two of the best camp host I’ve ever met.On top of that,they are volunteer hosts who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome.The best part was when I went to ask them something , I heard beautiful music (violin and guitar) coming from their campsite.I thought it was their stereo until I got closer and saw that it was them.They even invited me to stay and listen.Unfortunately I had company and couldn’t stay,but I hope they are still there the next time I go.As a matter of fact they will be a major part of the reason I will go back. Best stay ever!
