The creek is small but beautiful and great for fishing. Close to town but far enough away that you feel like you’re camping .

Debbie the camphost is very rude, condescending and does not possess the outdoor spirit. She needs an attitude check. We will never go back

We love this campground. We stayed in #77 again, as we did a few years ago. Right near the creek, neighbors are far apart and the back of the site is forest. You can hear the creek from site. Friendly, helpful campground hosts. Clean, great location. We will definitely be back again!
