What Guests Are Saying

The site offers ample space for trailers, tents, RVs, and boats, featuring a large fire pit and numerous picnic tables. While it's located near a highway and a recreation road that can cause dust issues, the overall experience was positive with well-maintained facilities, including daily trash collection. Visitors are likely to return, especially when roadwork is not ongoing.
