This is a very secluded campground in the middle of nowhere. Very quiet and peaceful, but horrible roads and a long drive for supplies. There were no hosts while I was there. I stayed on a loop that had fantastic views, but I would stay on a different loop if I go back. Had to jump a curb to get backed in. A little scary when storms were predicted and no one around. If you want peace and quiet, this is the place.

Like staying there , campgrounds are nice and the bathrooms are somewhat heated where the showers are , and they are private , makes it nice. We stay there during hunting season after Thanksgiving every year. Only thing would make it better would be individual septic lines.
