This is a lovely campground! the camp host was very personable and the camp sites are nice and big. the parking spaces are a bit tight, if you are pulling a rig or in a motorhome. it took some serious maneuvering to get our 24' Toy hauler in, and then we had to park separately as both the trailer and vehicle wouldn't fit into one space. however please don't let this detour you from this amazing location - full of beautiful trees!!
one comment on the website - it doesn't have a good map on showing which sites are next to each other. we booked site 5 & 6 because they appear next to each other online but in reality they are across from each other and we should've picked site 4 & 5. but really all the sites are so nice that we came home from our trip in August and immediately booked another trip in October. its a really nice walk through the campground, so grab your camp map, and mark the spots you like best :)

Great campsite, has everything you need! Nice and quiet but still close enough to town if you need anything. Can't wait to go back when its cooler!
