Lightning Tree

My daughter and I went camping here. This place was so peaceful. When we went there were only about 5 sites in the entire campground taken. It was very quiet and the stars were simply amazing! The host was fantastic (he even offered to help jump my vehicle when my battery was dying), and we want to go back... The bathrooms were clean, the campsites were clean. I hesitate leaving a great review because I don't want anyone else to go there =]

Over all, this is our favorite campground. It’s quiet, dark, and the host is friendly.
The only thing I have a problem with is, well there are two things. The first is there is always trash around the campsites. Little bits everywhere to cans and bottles in the camp fire. The other is at least one of the camping tables is basically destroyed. Burn holes, grease, flaking paint in chunks, and splintered boards. The last one was unusable as a place to sit and eat. We also had a very large, very green log left in the fireplace making it unusable.
These are minor issues for us, but it’s unsightly and could be a major issue for someone else.

Wonderful views, and the host (Steven) was incredible!

Steve the camp host is amazing and so friendly. This is our new favorite place to camp.

Great beautiful location. Not too crowed, so was quiet and a great get away.

Campsite and bathrooms were extremely clean. Love that it’s paved, very close to town. Campsite host is the sweetest most helpful guy. 10 out of 10

Camp Host Steven was wonderful and we loved how spacious and spread out the sites were!

The host was incredible, attentive, communicative, engaging and supportive. The space and area was clean.

Lightening Tree is a beautiful campground. The campsites are not too close together. Some sites are a bit short even for a 22 foot camper. I had to hang the tail end off the pad in order to have room to park my pickup near it. There was surprisingly few campers when I was there which made it nice. I don't like it when there's a constant stream of cars, boats, RVs and ATVs driving by.
It was relatively quiet and there weren't too many insects, especially no yellowjackets, altho' I did my cooking and eating inside my trailer.
The camp host, Steven, was very friendly and helpful. He came by regularly to ask if I needed anything and brought me a bundle of firewood the first night.

Campground un swept, un racked pine cones and deep pine needles. Picnic table in very bad shape has not been maintained and painted in years. Never saw any camp staff do anything but change the reservation tags and occasionally clean the restroom. No general campground cleaning or upkeep was seen the entire week we were there.
