The worst camping experience I have had to date. Whoever the camp host is. Terrible host. It's absolutely horrible. I came up, and it was raining. I was "OFFROAD" so I could unload everything easier. The host drives up immediately, starts yelling at me, and I can't be off the road. I told him I understood I'm simply unloading since all the rain, and he said I don't care. You need to move your car now. Threatening me saying I'll call the police if I didn't. All while YELLING. I had even said 3 words when he started all the yelling. I will never go to this campground.
4 hours later. While just finishing eating. After I had moved my car. The man comes back again, saying your vehicle is completely off-road, and I told you this before. You don't move. I'm going to call law enforcement. I told him to call law enforcement because I clearly COMPLETELY OFF ROAD. I also told him he doesn't have to yell at me.
He claims he was hard of hearing, and so he speaks loud. If he knew this, then he should have approached differently, but he clearly was yelling because some campers from down the hill were yelling, "Is everything alright. Would NEVER RECOMMEND COMING HERE EVER, not with this host.
I've also attached pictures to his 2nd claim after I had moved that I was COMPLETELY OFF ROAD. That Host was a complete asshole. Where I was there was nothing but the black asphalt and some dirt. Then the tree next to me.
My area was far away from everyone.the only complaint was from him. I would never go here again.

Nice area to be in cooler weather. There are dog friendly hiking trails right out of the campground (possible stream crossing). The frogs are crazy loud :). Some sites have more shade than others so do your research. Pit toilets were kept clean. Saw the camp host several times cruising the campground.

This review is for spot 29 only. Great spot, large pull through with shade. Large enough our family members that reserved spot 15 (and were unable to pitch a tent due to tree logs obstructing the tent pad) were able to join us. Excellent facility and we will be back.

This review applies to site 15 only.
Many trees were cut down and there were large logs and remnant branches strewn on the site. There was no room to set up a tent. Fortunately a family member had another site which was large, so we were able to set up on his site.

Camp host was helpful with trying his best to relocate us to usable spots and did come to check on us when we were relocated. We had a very large group. The sites 16, 17, 18 were not usable though. Pick another spot! These sites are filled with dead chopped down trees. The rest of the campsites seems okay, some are really nice and some are just okay but the rest seemed usable, just pick ones other than 16,17,18

We booked sites 16,17,18 based on reviews and pictures on the site. We wanted 3 adjoining sites with shade for our Girl Scout's first ever campout and we booked well in advance. When we arrived, the sites had piles of cutdown trees and branches multiple feet high covering the entire site spaces! There was ZERO room at all for tents, zero shade, and they were filled with hazard! There were even ropes up with signs that said "DANGER" on them! The sites were not at all usable and the camp host even said "Sorry the website shouldn't have let you book these sites, they have been like this for a long time!" They only had two sites left to put us in and they were at opposite sides of the campground so my girls couldn't even camp together and we had to squeeze into 2 sites instead of the 3 we paid for. One was okay but the other has zero shade which was a bummer. We made it work by the girls were super disappointed.
