This is a great campsite, especially if you intend to fish Lake Nimrod. Preston and his wife are great camp hosts, although I understand this is their last year. Thats a shame. they are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the surrounding area.
The camp is clean and well kept, although the restroom/showers could do with upgrading.

I had a really good time. Everything was excellent except for the weather. I made a choice to leave early but I will make up for it and then some. I had an e-mail when I got home telling me what my refund would be for the days I had left. SUPER!!!!
