The natural beauty was amazing. The vamp hosts were kind and artistic. It was super clean on grounds, restrooms and showers. I will definitely be back.

We liked the campground. Some of the spots were close together. We had a great spot which was more secluded.

This is a wonderful getaway spot... the only spoiling factor was the campers across from us, and there were a group of 4 sites that were all together in back-to-back sites in the middle of the loop, were running generators nearly all day starting at 7am and late into the night. As late as after 11pm, even though there are rules against it, there's nobody to enforce the generator rules that late (nice camp host but he's far away and likely asleep).
We are totally solar/battery/inverter and are proud to not pollute the environment with exhaust and loud gen noise. Please everyone get with the 21st century!
