I love that the sites have plenty of space between them for privacy and are next to trees. In summer, bring additional shade.

It's a good campground and the managers and caretakers are great; friendly, helpful and accommodating. The only problem is there are too many people who come there with barking dogs that they don't keep on a leash (in spite of rules to the contrary), don't pick up their dog poop, and some who think this is a great place to share their music with their neighbors. I came for the peace and quiet. If i wanted barking dogs and loud music i could get that at home.
You cannot put the responsibility on the caretakers to police the place; we just seem to have lost a general sense of community decency.

Great camp hosts. Site was very clean and ready when we arrived. Only negative ... showers unavailable, but at least the bathrooms were available.

First time here. Beautiful area. Nice campground. Spaced out very well. The person working at the check-in was very nice and friendly. We will be back.

Camp hosts were as friendly and helpful as could be hoped for. So was the staff at entrance. The double site was perfect for us. The only suggestion would be that if both guests have senior passes that they be honored.
