Despite the fact that the camp hosts were hampered by lack of protection by Law Enforcement, they were able to keep things under control by displaying a professional yet firm customer service attitude. The sites and service areas were spotless. Sadly, they said they would not be coming back the following year (2021) due to lack of support and communication from their management.

Nice campsite! Covid restrictions were in place making it a little different as far as facilities but a really good experience!

We really enjoyed our stay. The area is absolutely beautiful and we saw quite a bit of wildlife while at our campsite. The campground is well maintained and we plan to return.

Excellent experience. Although group campsite area shut down, the rest were open. Nice, large sites with great tables and fire rings. Bathrooms clean but showers shut down due to Covid concerns. Hosts very welcoming.

Very friendly staff, clean amenities, unfortunately the showers weren't open due to the corona virus! Will be back again.

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